She

Far in the horizon I try in vain
As the sultry sky gropes for rain
In pensive steps she wafts by me
As cool as steel, in winning spree
Stop ahoy, I scream aloud
And lo! There goes the silken shroud
A lass for all I thought it to be
Stood there silent, shadow of a glee
Moonshine impales white caves
Hollow as bones I saw her steps
Trance caught a-running in me
As your shadow was about to flee
And as I grabbed a corner of thee
All there was but a shard of scree
As cold as ever, with a name on it
I shivered in agony after the read
You went away in melting mist
Hapless me, with clenched fist.
Reading the name on shard as "DREAM"
Woke me up with abrupt scream,
For it was me who had killed it all,
Finished everything, big or small...

***

And now was time to give it away,
Go to a distant, far-off lay...
I tried to calm down, with no avail
All I saw was a face in veil
And it was yours, I'm pretty sure
Chasing me restless, in all my cure...
Thank the void that drags you down,
Steers away the sunken crown;
Goes in fervent deep mêlée,
As morning trances start in me..
