Shadow
by Ri-chan
A poem for the Fiery One...
Beyond the glimmering dusk
In the cruel whispering shadows of beech and bough...
Alone, I wander, with only the shimmer of starlight to light my way;
The wind sighs of vague griefs old and forgotten,
And Darkness, my liege and my comfort, descends like a veil.
In this silence of the world in depths of slumber,
My feet know no weariness, my heart no sorrow.
For I am to Night as her child, a creature of shadow and fire,
Her demon and lover, passion and evil entwined.
