The Tempest

Topic:
anguished
|
The darkness has gathered
like the coming of a storm
or an ill omen from an ill fated tongue
She looks into the black
fearing not- though a tear was shed
for she hears the cry of her children
Laugh she should
for she is the Sister of the Moon
and darkness can never rule for long,
no, not while that silver phantom moves dreamily
But her children,
those memories that echoe in the dust,
scream still for justice
and follow in her foot steps
not knowing that the hosts of heaven
hunt them in the night
No, never knowing
what waits for them in the shadows
And she has stripped away her robes
standing naked in defiance
shouting to the unseen tempest
"I will not die quietly in the night!"
Even when she is lost
no
say embraced
by her inevitable lover-
Even when her breath is taken
and replaced with his fire
and his burning seed
She stands in defiance
and sheds a tear
for the screams of her children
lost to the night.

Anguished, dramatic, dark and descriptively beautiful. I have to wonder who this is about...
Great write.

That was good... I liked the rebelliousness in the 'I will not die quietly in the night'
statement, and the ending was gorgeous too, as it combined the defiance with the
weakness that is inherently human. Gorgeous.
