By the 13 daughters of Lilith, I send thee back to dust. Brush the stars from thy cobwebbed bones. The light falls wooden to thy dead and deadly sight. Let the shadow cross take thee home. May the blood red candle find you in your dusk. May complexion's ashes ruby stare. I found your haunted thoughts within that eyesight lost. I found your colding body on the stair. ~*~ The black dock shivers in lost time with the sea. The pallid moon's white door beckons on. The trees by her graveside offered her some shade. As she sang a hungry, roving song. Her ancient stare gave wilt to the wildflowers there. Her touch left cruelty in lingered dust. Her name was as unknown as it was left unspoken. Her eyes were sky sapphire mixed with rust. ~*~ She turned and she threw me. She sent me to her fall. Where I learned her trials and her pain. When I came back to, she waited for my call. And she bid me drink of her rain. Now her scent brings chains to lie across, within. Ancient calling crave of blood and whim. By the time I noticed, it was past too late. I succumbed my honesty. I gave in to my fate. These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun. -RHCP [This message has been edited by bsquirrel (06-29-2002 03:19 PM).] |

Awww, you finished this poem for me on our anniversary....  How goth. *kiss* Dark and yummy and broody, much like its author. Hm.Two years!  So why're there 12 verses?  "Es ist Folter, aber ich bin fast dort." Robert Smith's Torture in Deutsch. |

Love you too. And I suppose that a title of "By 13" wouldn't be as accurate anymore if y' had 13 verses. "Es ist Folter, aber ich bin fast dort." Robert Smith's Torture in Deutsch. |
