Slowly undoing the clasps to your dress

Fingers stumble as my nerves tingle with excitement

Anticipation

You look so beautiful

Striking deep eyes staring back into mine

I get lost in you

Hands exploring your every cell

Your pale skin cool and soft to the touch

Riding the curves of your body

The smell of formaldehyde

Reaching me as my lips brush against your cheek

Wind chilling my spine

As we lie, bodies entangled

For hours unending

In the dew ridden grass

Staring into your listless eyes

Still sparkling in the dawning light

Watching the sunrise for the final moment

Before I must lay you to rest

Returning to the earth

The final beauty
