crystals fall sadly
seep, stain thirsty earth's parchment
lost drops break black tea
dampen trembling note in hands
tears falling outside and in

I was captured by your sha
Chained by your magick
Imprisoned
Your soul holds me fast
I cannot escape ~

Once,
I was so alone
Fire consumed me
as She sought me out
Dragons summoned me ~

I was called up upon the wind
My name echoed through the ages
My spirit melted into flesh
My psyche
became a sharpened sword ~

Her voice whispered,
memories into my heart
Her smell shocked
my brain with power
I seen her face
upon the ancient shore ~

The golden summer
came and went,
the autumn leaves
now mostly spent,

Gather deep before the cold,
while Jack-frost waits
till autumns sold,

The naked trees
point to the sun,
clothes scattered
on their beds for fun

they stand embarrassed
in light of day,
reaching for the sky
as if to pray

All living creatures
that would abound,
now rarely seen
on this frozen ground,

Distant

when it began
I do not know
signs were there
they'd failed to show

road you traveled
full of holes
soul washed up
on rocky shoals

lack of feeling
in dead eyes
which speak to me
implicit lies

no longer caring
you confess
the draining of
all tenderness

you have become
a promise broken
leaving behind
a tale unspoken
