In A Melancholic Dream

0 posted 2006-06-28 03:25 AM



The blood of nature stains the rivers numbing surface,
The ice is cold and freezes her memory,
This sacrifice, and it's blissful sorrow,
drown in a perpetuating suffering

A snowfalls deceiving downfall helps my thoughts reminisce
Of the lucidity, and warmth in my dreams
She drowns in this decaying undercurrent,
where life ends

Her amnesty, so adored, through the waking cold
Senses, fade away into the silence

Bid farewell to this loathsome memory

When these dreams escape my wounds,
Return to the landscape of perpetual snowfall

The title caught me right off the top. I really enjoy the subject matter, although I’m sure some may mislabel it as glorification of self-mutilation.
I see it as desperation to escape from loss and hide within oneself. I understand the feeling all too well.
Wonderful piece.
