The Bride and the Gambler

The Bride and the Gambler

On the cool forest floor, 
she flows, 
like the fog rolling, away.
and guardian beasts held in stoic capture.

As the cold Night it steals a Gamblers Stare.
It leaves well enough alone,
folds it's hands and pushes clear

Of Her Altar Room of Thrones,
wolves gnawing at the bones,
of those who came before.

The unknown and the unsonged-
Found wantings guess ed wrong.
Found wanting, to see the balance  
hung in the balance, of the pendulums sway
And thus be, Undone.
By the Bride Of.
The Bride of the taken away.

A Willow Wisp of snares.
She has come to take a share.
Of the raging blow.
The wrath of those alone.
Protagonist of 
God only knows.

Like a toll of shattered winds redrawn, and quartered for those who dare breath upon,
the daylights Judas kiss
blown from Kingdom Come.
blood and mortar of the cliffs of no return
and in sarcophagus song.
Her encrypted dreamtime fares admit one,
the iron maiden to bath a whistling tune, in
from fork of silver tongue.
God only knows

Where what was once is done
Another life wasted upon
A Gargoyle Queen of hearted stone.
Another Life Wasted and I am freely
Undone.
A Gargoyle- Queen of Hearted Stone.

Another life to be wasted here.
and recircled upon.
God only knows.
