Death could fall from the sky,
Where such sinister beauty hides.
From the heights of the night,
Ringing with sounds of unseen larks;
So that we must descend and travail.
Here we will sing
And here we will bleed,
At the gates of death.
Wetting the cheeks of Furies with tears.

We shall not turn back.
No cowardice or fear dreamt
Can tame our song.
And if we need hide,
My Love, our blossom
Can't be picked
By the devil himself.
We will lie on lyra
Singing our tune with the nightinggales.

tracing veins like white lines



From eternal stars, kissing moonlight streams
Nyx, come! and give me a poet's last dream;
While her music plays, enthralling,
I'll drink from her parting cup.
"Behold, love's glory doth shine throughout the night"
She speaks with a fierce and savage joy
Of which i've never seen before.
Her kiss so closely pressed
And so sweet, that i must comply.
Her fingers (oh so, ivory and gentle!)
Run my arm to my neck, tracing lines,
And after some time finally invading.
She springs wildly at the wound
Sucking at my neck as a glass of sherry.
Time and distance seem endless
When She broke away and i utter
"Oh sweet, Malaie, I long to know..."

(When with response and interruption)

"My life is in you and
All your breath fills My lungs"
Her eyes dress in love
"Lovers are dead,
Lovers eyes lock,
Locked in endless dreams,
If with me you'd fondly stray
Across the forest and far away"

I enjoy the theme of this, and some of the phrases remind me of fragments of the poetry I've read in Latin.

that's possibly because i was refering to orpheus and eurydice...along with a french folk tale the soldier and the beautiful daughter...

i really like this piece. it's as though floating on a wave and then suddenly getting sucked into the unknown only to find time shattering as it should.
