A Drop of Wine
A DROP OF WINE
A drop of wine shall fall...
On to a doublet
Staining forever
What was snowy white
Blood red
A passing during the night
A walk along the castle wall
I was there
I saw you fall
Taken from me
I heard you call
A drop of wine shall fall
Blood red
Staining forever
My heart instead
It started as a game...
Skipping across parapets
Such delight!
You needed it
Always done at night
A free spirit...
In all but name
You delighted us all,
with your antics in the Great Hall
I saw you fall
From a parapet
My heart ,leapt
You cannot conquer
The journey within
A drop of wine
Shall fall
On to my heart
Blood red
You will always be mine
Inwards , I bled
The call of tiny birds
Fluttering of wings
Took you to the stars
Where you saw,
so many wonderful things
The journey within...
Can sometimes begin
With a drop of wine
Blood red
Staining forever
Hearts , instead
