Moonsorrow

At dusk as the yellow sun ekes its was down
Sleeping, a giant of reds and soft glow
The deepest blue, unreachable peak of a sky
Falls silent and restless against nights advance
Erupting as clouds the bats take to the air
Drowning in darkness and echoes of black
Unquenchable thirst to drain life from the void
Witness to the cancer the birth of the monstrous
So long lost and forgotten
Silhouetted in slights of the nights blessed crawl
Silvery eyes blankly stare back in fixed snarls of grief
Lines of the carrion fodder swell
Flesh and steel impacted and to the victor the spoils
Birds of a feather flock down on the skin
So the silver shined eyes belch red to the moon
Tempest in the rage the rows grow like a plague
Infected with virtue, wisdom and intrigue
Broken glass shatters as the chime
The moon stares numb at all below
Yet alone now I can feel the pain
I turn away and mourn the loss of you
You still come to me in the depths of night
Your tender hands linger lovingly
With passion I feel you kiss… As I forget the time you passed away
Alone with you I dream
I forget that you are distant memories
Each night I sleep with view of the stars
Each night I name one after you
