~Her silent scream~

Within thine chains

I lay bound

Thus weeps the loved one

I once had found

A withering prize

I am colder than stone...

So utterly I despise

The womb from which you were thrown!

~His despair~

Oh my Sophia

Doth thou sleep

Your coveted heart

Does it still beat?

Rest my precious

A mourning kiss

Must I place

Upon Icy lips?

~Her silent scorn~

Stilled with bitter sorrow

By these lips you are rejected

Though mine heart it

Secretly beats my

Spirit's death,

You have affected

Descended in silence

My body does dwell

To you I am dead!

I bid thee farewell...

~Descent~

13 days like winters passed

While statuesque she bore the mask

Within the ashen tempest raged

Her fury like a wild beast caged!

A misty shroud in silence hung

As her flesh was borne

Amidst the groves – twisting, ancient

A wailing chorus rose...

But as the earth fell upon the casket

Her eyes began to open...

A silken, silver blanket draped o'er

The slumbering souls

That did surround her...

~Desperation~

Oh my beloved,

What has come to be?

Endless, empty years have I endured,

Yearning for thee

Rise, my beloved -

'Tis for you I have come

For this foul work

Must be undone!

Silence, my beloved,

Heed the dying choir

'Tis my shattered heart,

these verses of its final hour

This final breath be the wind

Here our story ends...
