The midnight sun is gleaming high,
above the fogged earth and I.
Where darkening dreams, like shadows, cling
to a sunken heart which can't take wing.
Darkest dreams, like absinthe rhine,
moorish muck or swampy brine,
Hauntingly seeping within my soul;
icy claws shall take their toll.
Where winter-cold, eternal dwells
there once had been a summer's dale.
Where sweet innocence, naively played;
love and laughter hid the gray.
Where amber eyes and autumn hair
had caught my heart with loving care.
But monstrous fate, to which we're enslaved
transformed that glen into this grave.
`Neath crimson leaves in fields of gold
he and summer turned to cold.
And with the cold they both did fade
unto but a painful shade.
But every night, while wild winds wail
by enshrouded dark I walk a trail;
from the deepness of my tomb
to the dankness of his room.
While in his room of stone and earth
I relive the days of glee and mirth;
days of joy where the sun had shone
as I press my cheek against his stone.
Amongst the earth and feted decay
I find the strength for another day.
For, there is not a moments gloom
when I am with him in his room. |
