The Glade

We met in a glade you and I

As the moon stood high in the sky

Woods eclipsing us in every way

And nothing left but darkness surrounds

+

And in that dark and windy glade

A brand new pact was thusly made

With the exchanges that we bade

To draw me closer you did dade

+

Stepped into moonlight pure apparition

Slowly form changed to solid condition

No longer a clear ghostly rendition

You take a companion-like edition

+

You did not have to at all try seduce

For you were my lover I did deduce

To then kiss you I did not need excuse

To this end I did try to so conduce

+

With lingered steps I take into the glade

As all my harried vision seems to fade

With all my alarm ceasing to evade

Drawing close towards my nubile maid

+

Coming into middle moonlight's cascade

I can feel your face caught in heavy staid

For this moment there is nothing I trade

As our faces begin to closely wade

+

Our bodies and hands are so gently laid

As our fingers caressed and slowly played

You around my neck and I through your braid

Eyes locked with no chance that they ever strayed

+

I'm in my jacket, you in your brocade

Neither of us carry hint of afraid

This is the best moment for which we've prayed

Then our mouths begin a kissing crusade

+

Love for you eternally my dear maid

As affection is no longer delayed

Every touch exuberantly conveyed

Our tongues a never-ending serenade

+

The moment cut short and quickly unmade

As I feel the blood from that unknown blade

On my hands and across your waist arrayed

Your life fleeting fast with love's fate betrayed

+

I cry out in anguish at what's unmade

What magic caused this terrible invade

Of death into this amazing parade

In love carried into the dreamy glade

+

Gone forever is my dearest love,
