Eve of Winter
Frozen enchantress
Of beauty untold
Sought for
The glacial summer.
Soul withdrawn
By painful slumber.
Eyes of silence,
Cold lips of fury.
Auspice of death
Cast
The twisted tongue
Of water.
The vile plunging
Of raging sleep
Left dreams
Of sweet revenge.
So ends
The immortal with life
As it closed its eyes
For eternity.
