A Nightshads Song

Winter rains lover
	the cold north wind
	fought against the thought of warmth
in which we would embrace again.

It holds steadfast to the slow
	beating of the window pane
		drums loudly out thoughts
	leaving us numb.

Ice courses through veins
	long forgotten canals
		whom once held court for promises
	of love stricken stars
that fell from above.

Silence is left shouting
	deaf tones 
		of moments
	long held to endless night
		shade
	which we decided to get drunk on
		and parade
	through the death streets of our ancestors
		dancing dreams
	with them forever on...

			...movements to the song.
