|
Facedown I sprawl in the forest's cathedral |
|
Where she lies in thrall |
|
To a slippery coffin |
|
I first saw her grin in this graven lair |
|
My heart starting to canter |
|
Snow white skin and raven hair |
|
Lips full red as a blood decanter |
|
But hatred hunted there |
|
In tyranny's mirror |
|
Magickal rites |
|
Turned with jealousy |
|
On a young reflection |
|
Back then spring's breeze sweetened the night |
|
Now the evenings are longing |
|
Shadows delight |
|
And the frost on her pillow |
|
Glitters by the moonlight |
|
Months saw my lost to her elegant, decadent ways |
|
This past midnight cinderella |
|
With a smile like the winter sun |
|
On a misty day |
|
And star-grazing eyes raising cappellas |
|
But poison stunted there |
|
Seven trees weaving |
|
Arbour on nights |
|
Spent in ecstasy |
|
Neath their woodland awning |
|
She fell foul to withcraft's designs |
|
A weeping willow |
|
Wicked willed to sleep |
|
There's frost on her pillow |
|
At the cost of mourning |
|
Now the lands fall grey, devils revel and obey |
|
A cruel beauty drifted from a dark novella |
|
The queen of hearts tarred |
|
By the cards she's swift to play |
|
In turrets over all where angels smell her ways |
|
Our fairy tale is over |
|
My love lies dead |
|
The kingdom writhes in a red dementia |
|
Misadventure strides instead |
|
A sore, wilde picture like Dorian Gray |
|
Pressed against the glass in pain |
|
One final graven kiss to say |
|
My love I will avenge |
|
Those fleeting hours of flowers bloomed |
|
Beneath the tree-entangled moon |
|
Why did you have to leave so soon |
|
My illuminary friend? |
|
But hated hunted there |
|
In tyranny's mirror |
|
Justified spite |
|
Turned armageddon |
|
On a stunned reflection |
|
Back then Hell's freeze strangled the night |
|
Summer is coming |
|
New flames ignite |
|
And the frost on her pillow |
|
Is lost to the morning light |
