A War, A Queen, & A Loss


Cool and cold  
Like a winter's eve 
If snow was as ash 
As black as renewed grief 
Bodies were bashed 
Plants were smashed  
And the dead lay unheaved
 
For the dust gave way 
To a darker time 
And nothing was to be perceived 
Through the haze of night 
And the cold winds flight 
Out into the eve
 
As a statue stood in solitude 
A spirit mourned by mornings pour
For the rain itself weeped
For a stone still spiral
Which beheld a vined statue
As though the forest defends her grave
 
For with death the sky did weep 
While wisps of water ran down the trees
Morning your marvelous offered magnificent 
A queen standing as you stood 
Sanctioned over her stone path
Life seems at one point
But longing to disappoint
 
You were once my bright stars
And I your faithful moon
But you left too soon
Under the wounded sky
You broke me down
Into my still as stone heart
 
As the stone has frozen you just as well
But I've seen you soul's deep light
And you bring hope to me in a broken spell
How can I learn to love myself
I have scars that cannot be shown
Stay away
While I hidden in the hidden depths
Of my darker side
 
Though the stars twinkle around me
I am blinded by the streetlight
You hand me a scope to help me see
 
I have loved you
Loved you enough 
To love myself
As the stars shall love 
The moon and sky
I do love you
Though separated we are
We are together
Amistad the greater sky
From which all do dwell
 
From which enopulence dwell 
within the raven sky
darkened by the star dipped wells
from that which all can all fly
