Elegy For Love Poem by Lord Valadrius

I hear the fading whispers
Of a love thats lost and withered away
Like silhouettes painted amid a weeping wind
Or a sinners moon serenading dusk
From vast oceans o'er vigilant trees...

These consorting themes I dream of thee
Leave prey to those malicious souls
Who came above sunset's zenith
To steal my ray of grave moonlight...

How long this pain is untold
Whence the night winds blew
Across a starry, mist filled sky
gracing limbs of those eldritch magistrates
Who sought to hang my enchantress
For she, seducer of raven hearts
Bejeweled the glistening shores of Kythera...

Alas these wines of despair
I am so readily drunk upon
“Why didst thou take her away”
On that tempest eve
When the boughs danced so macabrely
Was our love denied by that of god...

I still recall those candle lite nights
Whence we lay together
Shrouded by the starry constellations
How I gazed upon thy lithe face
Shining with such luminosity...

Within an Eden of midnight promises...

How I yearn to return to those forests
Flitting amidst the pines falling to embrace
But now as autumnal leaves turn rigid
I weep for our love that was once but now lost...

Once lost but soon to be found
For in death we journey
To meet again...
