Had we but world enough, and time.


Her petite body wrapped in a mauve flowing gown

Lay in a dark, heavy coffin

With red roses and white carnations scattered over her.

The diamond pendant on her neck sparkled

reminding him of the night they shared their first kiss.

Death did not take away her beauty, neither his love, their love.


*the title is borrowed from the poem To his Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell
