Tragedy of Dawn

Seeing you now
I hold your lifeless body in my arms
Kiss your cold lips
To know that those eyes will never open again
Never again to look at me
Never again to hold me captive
It's like agony coursing through my soul

In the dawn's early light
Your blood covers the ground
Running...
Like a crimson river of life
Leaving you cold....
Lifeless...
Dead...
But at peace

Till now, a smile plays on those cold lips
Her face so peaceful and white
With skin no longer warm
Stained with the color of her blood
Her hair strewn about her face
Dawn's light playing upon the sleeping angel
Ensnared in Death's cold web
Never again to feel the heat of life

She hangs
Suspended in time
In the beauty of youth
With eyes closed and body cold
Garments of darkness shroud her
In a cocoon of everafter
Death...

I kneel beside you know and hold
You ever in my arms so gently
Your blood, my song
Your voice, my sustanance
Singing ever so softly
Keeps me on hold
To life as yours fades

Beautiful gaze
Brings me down to your cold, cold skin
And I kiss those lifeless lips of yours
Unbelieving
That you are gone

Sleep now, gentle angel
Sleep now and may your sleep be peaceful
Till the time comes when you awaken
I will be by your side
Waiting
Watching
Sleeping
Along with you
Suspended in the web of time
Nothing can come between us

For this sleep isn't forever
And life will course through your veins again
Your voice will soar through the heavens again
And I will be free

The time of dawn
The dawn of light
The light of death
The death of

You
