Love-lit eyes shining silver words to her The moon was the sky's sin That night the poet's lips told how the skin breathes            *Dear Frost,      The willow hung left and skewed among stars Flesh will flower a God,                                 Her tongue that of a dragon's, And her body drumming hell's waltz       What's wrong with having dark ashen wings?               Darling,                                Silence hung in the universe just as much as hate.       And I bargained my way to the window,                 Just to watch an angel fall to the burning mountain side.                              A new bloodstream was born* Lungs have lied their last lisp Secrets pointed to tiger stones, But within that emerald hilt I saw divinity. Sleeves catching the sunset And in a bag I held her self-pity. Loyalty counters, blooming a Lord. Cancer bound in her heart *If we make it through the night,          Then maybe we'll make it through the war.* Despair shifted, grasping her hope As if she hadn't already sacrificed enough. A sickness spreads like embers in hay The evening casted her away in that grown snow I'm sorry that destiny gave a visit A candle burning the horizon in her eyes **"Legend has it,       he could talk the sun           into setting."**               Aye, but a forgotten myth stirring in the depths Her eyes now held that of moonshine **"Myth be told,       he could talk the moon,            into rising."**

A Forgotten Myth
Love-lit eyes shining silver words to her The moon was the sky's sin That night the poet's lips told how the skin breathes            *Dear Frost,      The willow hung left and skewed among stars Flesh will flower a God,                                 Her tongue that of a dragon's, And her body drumming hell's waltz       What's wrong with having dark ashen wings?               Darling,                                Silence hung in the universe just as much as hate.       And I bargained my way to the window,                 Just to watch an angel fall to the burning mountain side.                              A new bloodstream was born* Lungs have lied their last lisp Secrets pointed to tiger stones, But within that emerald hilt I saw divinity. Sleeves catching the sunset And in a bag I held her self-pity. Loyalty counters, blooming a Lord. Cancer bound in her heart *If we make it through the night,          Then maybe we'll make it through the war.* Despair shifted, grasping her hope As if she hadn't already sacrificed enough. A sickness spreads like embers in hay The evening casted her away in that grown snow I'm sorry that destiny gave a visit A candle burning the horizon in her eyes **"Legend has it,       he could talk the sun           into setting."**               Aye, but a forgotten myth stirring in the depths Her eyes now held that of moonshine **"Myth be told,       he could talk the moon,            into rising."**
How could I forget those words Lycan? For every legend, there is a counter.
