Beauty Unadorned

Chalice

Compositor: Não Disponível

Besieged, this wretched mind that knew not destiny embraced
The enchantress who knew not her grand allure
Entwined in short lived bliss but now reciprocally displaced
I have retraced these lengthy steps for dreams demure

The darkest of emotions, in magnitude an entity
Cry out in the bereavement of the sun
The love of death and death of love
The pale ravens blackened dove
All focus on the attributes of one

A gift, incarnate vision
Far removed from man and time
You strode this mortal plateau with such ease
For some the greatest peace will lie
Beyond the conscious line
For some our human cloak is a disease

Hold your scarlet wrists up to the sky
Your beauty unadorned at last is free
And kiss my severed world one last good-bye
The light that shone in you now dies in me

Possibility, it scorned the flaming fire
As apprehension ached with its untimely starkness
Whilst I hid in the shadows, in solitary awe
You were the light on the edge of my darkness
