Poems
May 2020
Vision
A husk forever blazing black
Apathetic inferno made
Glittering in the moonlight
The band of thieves steal away.
In her roughened burlap sack
She carried the burning shade
Cradled among the glinting gold
Yet longing for the blade.
A creature full of foul designs
Denizens of the glade
A forest of young lovers' kisses
Renders her afraid.
She'd been here once before, in fumes,
Breathed the sunlight of the day,
and her heart had gasped
and touched a spark
which set it all aflame.
She was sharp, the thief,
and saw the lovely fae
Who stole her life and sought her soul
And burned her just the same.
When she returned, all was calm
Lady long absconded
With her love to the fae so cruelly bonded
Her loss a bitter balm.
The thief and the fairy met one night
And found solace in another
And since it burned so midnight bright
Both women lost a lover.
