Fallen Star
Fallen Star
Beneath a fallen star
from black velvet of night
wish not for what ye may perceive
suppressed
in a woven fashion of woes
which might bite
upon hearts that bleed
Loose love filled
with tones of tilts
and jags from wails
of blackened sough's breath
cry out within the darken veins
of fallen stars
as paths
overlie in death
Upon the shores of skies end
lit by magic of night's moon
from the fallen star shadow
does quake
within the will of man
for the trembling
of a woman's given hand
For the ashes
which pass within the fallen star
give reason to sanities closure
as dust surpasses thy eyes
in the return of heart
to wanting arms
in betrayal of darken coal
Heed not the wish of stars
that lead in the approach to love
for the holding twines thy own hearts
from shooting stars falling
endlessly
from the heaven's above
