Last Embrace
Empty vessels carry forth
The Maiden of the night who pleas
With tears of silver that trickle light
O’er cheeks that shine without reprieve
Feathered hair that billows strong
Within a winters wind,
Captures the moment, a mermaid’s song
Of one that longed for something complete
Frost-like lips that part with ease
Blow forth a lightened air
Wisps of fog spread as wings
Caressing in their beauty
Calling out with woeful cries
As echoes wither naught
Shuddering while her heart doth break
Yet again from pain and hurt
Death comes willing to those that beg
With faceless shapes that dance
Puppets upon their gilded strings
Leading innocence along the path
Shimmering wishes and dreams that died
With one moment in time now gone
The empty vessel carries forth
Searching aimlessly for one
A soul that captures
That begs to hear
That prays just once to be felt
A maiden of night, a shadow now
Breaks free on dawn’s first light
Sacrificial lamb of god
An angel upon the stars
Touch her, feel her, see her there
Allow her but once to live..
Dust on the wind
The clouds draw nigh..
The Maiden’s song complete
Blood trickles sour, blades fall with grace
Lamenting in this loss
A female now seen,
Though always not
Had at last, perhaps been sought..
In sorrow did her moment rise,
The instant the blade struck harsh,
As her heart did stop,
Her body did fall
In life she had been a simple non,
But with death, she had become…
