The Askance Chapter 2 Part 4b
The Askance was already gone before the end of the candle-fill chamber
And through the door I went… of whom might this Befallen I’ll meet?}
“Your long awaited presence is finally to be seen
And how I’ve yearn since those thousand nights if I’m to enter your dreams
Yet here before me you stand and indeed well worth is my wait
As destiny is only to reveal its time, never too early nor too late
Forgive me, for too much lies little understanding for you
Yet truth can only unfold, shall present the time be due
As of now…
Your concern for dreams, is a search for an enigma
No end is the beginning, alike tunes of a magical aria
It speaks nay of language, yet profound in ways of simplicity
And striving to decipher, will only string more knotted complexity
Each night, the veiled eyes will reveal the forbidden
Uncovering a path beyond one’s blinded destiny till awaken
Whichever the moment captured, belongs to you and you alone
For no one can even come close to truly behold the secrets you own
And dreams is to appear every once, shall come sleep to everyone
Cursed either to be remembered or forgotten, must both come undone
This gift of wisdom lies the past, present and future to be within your very power
Not even I can interpret what burns beyond your darkest hour
With words I’m oblige to say, what you see is what you are
The answers is not of questions, whether too close, neither too far
Do not be deceived and let all else be…
For too soon in dueless time, dreams is only but a memory”
I lay on my bed with my eyes still enclose
Thinking of what she said, feeling totally calm
Not a fulfillment but an understanding I enfold
With the message she delivered was the fact I dearly want
A tear fell from her eye when I unwantedly left
Along with an undeniable sadness I had felt
She seems so yearning, waiting with her every spiritual breath
Perhaps some love, lost with unspoken centuries to be dealt
I remember her beauty, her pearl blue eyes when she looks up
Her wings of white fallen silk, glistening against her auburn hair
Her enchanting yet mystical voice, spoken without doubt
And a hidden past, engrave unforgotten and unforgiven she despairs…
Sleep would be impossible for the remainder of tonight
I pray of soon, I’m to see her again in morrow’s dream
And as dawn awoke with its mornful light
Somehow, the untold name of the befallen I already knew within…
Her name is… Ei-rian
