[The Murder of Love]

And the time is Nine O’ Clock and you are listening to the news:

Vaginated from the eburnean light,
Deceit lay in it’s dark cloak,
Silence lay upon the streets
And cold fear filled the air,
Love strolled gracefully,
Unaware of those who stalked,
Deceit struck from far behind,
Bitter words and vengeful lies,
Stabbed at his gentle heart
And his tears fell as vitriol,
As he lay upon the crimson street
And as all fell deep azure,
The silence on his sweet lips,
Betrayed the murderer of love.

A repost from a while back but it is one of my favourites that I have written myself, kind of sad that it once more applies but I guess we all have to deal with things we don't exactly like *sigh* but such is life, I hope you enjoy the read.

this is so delightfully written, it is as soft as a sigh, however can you tell me what 'eburnean' means in this context? *soft smiles*
