Embrace She came to me As if in dream A vision of beauty An elegant queen Of flowing robes A gothick shroud I stand there frozen My heart has been found... Her lips press against mine She smiles, and whispers 'Our fate is complete' Her words melt within me As my heart skips a beat..... We embrace through the night With our arms entwined For what seems an eternity Suddenly a church bell chimes, I cannot see Her smile turns to malicious grin As she vanishes before me..... I awake in my crypt, was all a dream? Bloodied tears roll down my cheeks From the thought of what may never be..... © Cryptaethesia, 1999 Look to the StarsMy heart reels with searing pain Hope, dreams, once healed, have been destroyed I still feel your love, absorbed by my being In your heart I'm alive In your eyes I have died..... I cry out your name from my austere sepulchre My screams echo in the distance... then fall silent I stare at the caryatides that surround me Their faces twisted with pain, can offer no relent..... I turned my back on my life I now look to the stars "Please... take me from this world" Clouds now surround me where once there were none I raise my arms to be taken I feel your breath on my neck I'm gone..... I wander this barren wasteland alone I walk towards a light, from which your visage is shown Your beauty, your soul, and your heart Are now forged in my mind, I know they won't part The damage I have done to myself I'm sure I would do it again Just to clasp you in my arms for a second My tears will drench my pillow, till then..... © Cryptaethesia, 1999 |
