Poem švii
Every morning I awake
To black cascading dawn
Mourning love never wrought
And yet already gone
Her serpent tongue whispers
Tempting me with her lies
All those dreadful secrets
Beyond thought to surmise
She bids me to come and I follow
Through tunnels of darkness
Her embrace is reassuring
Her betrayal stands in starkness
Decrepit years slowly crawl by
The damage is done it seems
Through staph infected wounds
She proceeds to torcher my dreams
Even though Im not awake
In vain I struggle to escape
From those wild flaming eyes
And salivating jaws agape
So long ago I lusted her presence
Now Ive sold my soul that shed depart
But it was all for not
Now her claws impale my heart
All my echoes of longing
Attract a wolf unto a fawn
Attract the shadow of that girl
Another black cascading dawn
To black cascading dawn
Mourning love never wrought
And yet already gone
Her serpent tongue whispers
Tempting me with her lies
All those dreadful secrets
Beyond thought to surmise
She bids me to come and I follow
Through tunnels of darkness
Her embrace is reassuring
Her betrayal stands in starkness
Decrepit years slowly crawl by
The damage is done it seems
Through staph infected wounds
She proceeds to torcher my dreams
Even though Im not awake
In vain I struggle to escape
From those wild flaming eyes
And salivating jaws agape
So long ago I lusted her presence
Now Ive sold my soul that shed depart
But it was all for not
Now her claws impale my heart
All my echoes of longing
Attract a wolf unto a fawn
Attract the shadow of that girl
Another black cascading dawn

I see I'm going to have to increase my vocabulary of descriptive words for your poems Dour...
What a story you tell here... Like it.... :)

Thank you Kate. I can only attribute my vocabulary to years of reading the work of so many literary geniuses who've been a constant inspiration to me. In fact you taught me a word (dispossess) in your previous comment so thank you once again!

I love the first part:
"Every morning I awake
To black cascading dawn
Mourning love never wrought
And yet already gone"
The morning/mourning parallel is very compelling here.
Great read.

Thank you very much. I often wonder if these types of parallels go unnoticed so it is great to hear they do not. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece.
