A golden seraphim strings harpless melodies,
Under a ceiling of pure ivory pastels,
A chorus of the most divine summon the lost,
They walk the old path, faces concealed under veils.
A ceremony to the end of days,
A devastatingly dark passion play.
Candles aline a crown of trees,
Your cross asunders your life,
I can hold back my tears, never.
You delivered me from strife.
A loving reminder of life's fragility.
In the eyes of a strange possibility.
Your blood gave life to this anguished withered land,
Where you so haplessly lay slain,
I fell to your side and could not be consoled,
And wept as it began to rain.
My eyes will mourn for your death,
Until I take my last breath.
Let the shadows of crows take over your cross,
And the comforting embrace of ivy lace,
Coil a necklace around your eternal bed,
And clasp away the diamond of your face.
My mind, raped with such sorrow.
Cannot behold tomorrow.
You were the one to warm me with a smile,
When I was plummeting to a premature death,
Without you I may not go on living,
And with that, I beggoth, bless me with a last breath!
Your tears are windows to my demise,
But from these ashes I will arise.
To venture into a new day,
One I have failed to see,
I turn my face up to the sky,
Tell me, can you see me?
Answer the question plaguing my mind,
Why did you go and leave me behind?
And why not I, one of those that are cursed?
Be taken away, when angels fall first?
Angels fall first,
When I be worst,
Heavens may decree,
But your memory.
Will rest here with me.
For all eternity.

I liked how you used the album title in your poem as it flows as well as a Nightwish song. Excellent entry, just what I was looking for.

I like this!
I really like the rhyme in this. They are not as common as rhymes often are. I am not familiar with this song. The poem, however, reads like lyrics and has a nice rhythm and flow.
