Veiled Desires: A Dark Romance Poem for a Silenced Heart

In the nocturne's shroud, where silence sprawls,
A shadow dance, beneath the moon's hush calls.
Eyes like daggers, sharp and gleaming cold,
Across the ballroom, a mystery unfolds.

For whom does the masked assassin pine,
In this dark romance, where fates entwine?
The tender agony of a heart concealed,
By a lover's vow, never to be revealed.

Through whispers of silk, and the rustling of lace,
Gentle touches linger, but never embrace.
In the waltz of darkness, together they glide,
Their longing veiled, as close as the tide.

Hunted and hunter, in a dangerous game,
Their love, like a flame, consumes without shame.
A kiss of steel, a touch that can kill,
Yet, in this moment, time stands eerily still.

Angel of death, with a grace so divine,
In a dark romance, doth his destiny entwine.
With a lover as elusive as the night's soft sigh,
Where secrets are safe, and truth dares not vie.

'Neath their masks, a language unspoken,
Words like roses, thorned but unbroken.
They dance through the dark, fearless and free,
For in their love, they find sanctuary.
