Leur

The springs of the rain wore fast

Time tested lunges yet falling to nothing

For lack of change in annuities

’Tis a drastic flow of the midnight river

And the dawn of wonder

Its silent tributary

The wolf had imbibed of its waters long ago

Tainted with the sweet shavings of apples

As the inhaled mists of perfection lifted

A full breast

And the Black Madonna stood at the bath

Vierge de Noir va lázni

She came from the shadows of dreams

In the wondrous dawn lethargy

And she warned not to let them take me

’Las was I falling into their arms

Yet if the fall is calculated

Can it be truly thus?

And if I am merely aware?

As for cognizance had become

An empty shell of nothing

And there was a need to gallop the risk

Of compliance with the same

Strolling the labyrinth of vested knowledge

My soul was torn and mended overly

As I waited on the gun

Beg release my fears the rising light

I dreamt on what night did loom

Above my callous chivalry

A pure and weighted saturation

In the gentle warmth of our settlement

She spun me

For webs of solitude

Incumbent on the waters of late stars

Gleaming of their beauty

Shroud the early collecting dew of darkened airs

A woven tapestry of raindrops held together

The pure silk strands of a work wrapped through thy soul

Entangled in the malleable walls of some meaningless maze

And moved by the gestures of thy parlance for creation

Le jus de pomme a baigné le Madonna Noir

And became a pagan goddess once again

Moving as thy seasons

Why must truth perish in the wind?
