The Bittersweet

a love poem

By Aurora GisellePublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Above in the crystal-black palace

is where he drinks from loves red chalice

and below in the stone-white mountains

is where she bathes in heartbreak’s fountains

but, beyond desert-moons and forest-clouds

within a peak of oceanic-suns, earth enshrouds

light-naught masquerade of stolen kisses

shadow-caressed dances of healing wishes

their wordless-limbs, undone in fleshy-threads

unsewn by their songs upon feathery beds

when they break the chainmail-provenance

to each other’s dagger-locked entrance

may their souls unlock, nary ill-weathered

to become one heart, fairly even-tempered

no will too grandiose, no gesture to deplete

their bleeding-love wholly bitter then sweet.

A narrative voice that penetrates the depths of darkness and it's denizens; from human to fey, angel to devil, prisms and shadows of the abyss. All who hide in the darkest corner's of the void will be exposed in the verses of starlight.
