The Poisoned Sword of Desire :Every Moon Sets -04

You stabbed me

From behind 

My shapeless image

With the most dreadful 

Weapon of the ages.



The knife of shadows

Slaying me behind

The brightest shrine.



You were the pale priest

Making me quiver

With the pain

Of centuries of 

Forced widowhood.



Till I trembled

Like a blue animal

In the wisp of coldness

Poisoned with lonely

Swords of desire.
