ColdFire

*Sonnet 3

 

The night wind blows the breeze ever so slowly

In a dance of daggers the blade held so stealthy

Beyond the meadows sparks come and go

Death wraps them intends to go through and through

 

The blade held by his beloved now comes closer

To end what started in ancient lore but becomes clearer

Why must they suffer? why must they cry?

Why must they swing and why one must die?

 

Madness, indeed that they stand in this division

Fighting for someone else's dreams and religion

As one stayed standing and one lay flat

By their blood and tears we ask where your peace is at?

 

Is there a soul which would permit a sacrifice so cold?

Or is/are your thoughts your fire untold?*
