Naked tale foretold
7 April 2016

Spoken thoughts
Saturating words
They misspell
Past intent
Agony souls underwent
Disdain bleak feature
Dark creature
Lies a solemn vow
Middle Earth
Its fiefdom
Shades of the greying kingdom
City of tales bent
The heart spent
In rivers of woe
Unwinds slow
The whirlpools
Amnesia its daily tools
As heartbeats quiver
Plains awash
With red of the blood
The eyes flood
Loss of life
Expunged in the shining pearl
The drops wild scatter
We will meet
When the ravens crow
Through midnight
Past the light
When early rays summon eyes
To twinkling mornings
Your shimmer
Rivalling with gold
Standing bold
Shuddering
On the brink of vanity
Naked tale foretold
