In the realm where love and death collide,

A symphony of emotions does reside.

For in the heart, where passions burn,

Death's icy grasp, love does yearn.

****

Love's flame, so bright, ignites the soul,

Like a raging fire, it takes control.

But in the shadows, death does creep,

Silently whispering, as love falls deep.

****

In the embrace of love's sweet desire,

Breaths as one, their hearts inspire.

Yet with every beat, with every sigh,

Death hovers near, drawing nigh.

****

Love's tender touch, so soft, so pure,

Elevates spirits, making hearts endure.

But as time passes, so swiftly it flies,

Death's cold fingers, love can't disguise.

****

Love's laughter fills the air with glee,

Warming spirits, setting hearts free.

Yet amidst the joy, shadows linger,

Death's presence, love cannot hinder.

****

In the dance of love's enchanting spell,

Two souls entwined, a story to tell.

But as the tale unfolds, so bittersweet,

Death's woven thread, love cannot defeat.

****

Love's sweet kisses, like petals so rare,

Exude a passion, a love beyond compare.

But as life's cycle follows its path,

Death's silent kiss claims love's aftermath.

****

So in the realm where love and death meet,

Love blossoms and fades, bittersweet.

For love, though fragile, forever will strive,

In the face of death, to keep love alive.
