Fairytales

From the dark embrace of Eros
Psyche went mad, wandering
Into profounder blackness still
How gods take vengeance
And goddess' weave
The mantles of fates
Night air of cold night
Sings such tales
Of love and grief
Of lovers lost
And of loves united
One gold thread
In every heart
Spools and unspools
The legends most illusive
And yet the canker of desire
With the rust of passion
Has sprinkled my gold
With black soot
Fairytales and Muse-magic
Cutting, tearing
The rivers of Mystery
In heart agonized
