romantic love poem

in an old chamber softly lit
mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam
i have to say good-night
the smell of the rose so false, the thorns so true
pushing out, struggling vainly
a thin gray shadow on the edge of thought
among the smoke and fog of a december afternoon
in all things not spoken of
i fill this cup
afraid no more, i say
