Near golden sunsets

Late night's folly hangs long,
a grim keeper to black words spoken,
love lost and gone.
A low comma to the silence; broken
but twice by the longest night's breath,
I search for respite from my folly,
a dream to escape her death.

I founder within the Stygian gloom;
overtaken, slumber grasps my mind,
freeing me from my spectral tomb.

Hannah dances once more in blind
radiance beneath the Gulf stars,
the wet sand beneath her feet
sparkles in moonlit puddles; the scars
of the day forgotten, slowly timed
to the cadence of bells.  Leather strapped
anklets beat amid the ringed stones.
Her closed eyes strain as her trapped
soul casts through, smiling in sublime
elation, beckoning gladly, singing
to the night.  Yule tidings chanted to
the sky, her dance to her winter king.

I wake in quick, tearful turnings;
my pillow, the sheets beat wet with fear.
Dawn offers lame respite to my yearning;
cold breath follows each gasp as the year
passes its mark, and Hannah's soul sings
of the afterlife she lived.  I am left lonely to
infinitely endure the pain that love brings.

Divide me again.
