Friend:

Her tears
phantom the gold
chocking her neck.
Such a beautiful ruin…
what place is left for such ornate
jewelry?

Water does not flow
beneath her skin. The current
altered his course
and drove her rivers to dust.
Fronts became friends
and left behind still air.
The birds sang requiems
to honor their rotting tree
and with their lament,
bequeathed her a black cloak
so that she can mourn.  

Nothing left, but her black cloak.

Black…

She wears black under her feet.
The rubber path of worn shoes
stain the polished floor
of this defeated hall.

She wears a black
over her head,
like a hovering raincloud that
spits ash and cries smolder.
Until red skies become all that is left
of her, my friend.

It has definite series potential. You've created an interesting storyline, with some wonderful imagery.
I'll be back to read this again later.
