Awaken! slip pass the reaper
'tis not for thee to fade away.
Arrogant I shall be nay more
m'wings hath golden luster once,
me halo shattered, removed!
Confirming thy suspicion:
hunger, craving cognac
destroyed m'heart, soul.
I n'ver stop loving thee;
sweet lady I am by thy side
intoxicated I am not.
With a force akin to lightning
I kneel annoyed by thy fall.
Thy heart will heal in time
let me look into thine soul
foregone all suspicious
pangs, forlorn distressful haunts
shall be nay more.
I shall love thee always
thou art in heaven, I
dewell in darken shame
awaiting the return
to be entwined with thee.

Good luck in your contest!

I must agree, the old english vocabulary really suits here. Rather enjoyable, and has a good flow to it.
' I dewell in darken shame
awaiting the return
to be entwined with thee.' I loved this line it is my favorite part. Great imagery as well.
