One Night

  • Dedicated kay My amazing brother
                                    

Death comes gently.

Feathered wings alight

on a blood red cape of night.

A shining dagger falls

Glinting edges sharp.

Life runs along its blade,

sealing Your fate.

Your last flight hurts

Your freedom behind the veil,

left behind with the Girl of the Moon

whose starlight leaves with You.

The warmth of the night flees

separated you both weep.

One taken by darkness,

the other left to endure the numbness.

Your face fractures

Thick black tears pool and ignite

Her fury grows from afar

Boldness strengthened by her desire

to have You back

now that you've paid your price.

She runs and dives

head first into the danger of your kind.

Bargains and Battles,

Kings and Knaves.

For your starlight she still aches

but now knows of her hidden glow

The Girl of the Moon has found courage of her own.

She comes forth to You,

your curving blade in hand

her cloak of bone weathered by fight.

Her demons conquered,

your turn awaits.

Together you may earn

the life for which You've yearned.

Weapons drawn you leave your past behind

When you emerge you are no longer the same.

Blood and bone fall to love and joy in your embrace

She shivers in your arms

basking in the feel of her returnèd stars.

Your supernova heart

explodes for the Girl of the Moon

who went after You.

Your dreams of peaceful moons

meld with hers of starry skies.

Once again united you create

a perfect vision of your universe.

This is a poem I wrote when I was supposed to be working on a bio paper. If I could dedicate this to green felt and fountain pens I would. Not sure where it came from, though it might be cool to find out. :D

Feel free to ask anything. Constructive criticism is very much appreciated. ^_^
