Summary: Harry's thoughts on Ginny post-OOTP
Dusk Falls on Sisyphus
A life of yearning in vain
The bleakness of the world
Reflected in his battered, tragic eyes
His ruined spirit as broken as his lover's body
Thoughts center on a brighter time
When he could hold her in unmarred hands
But fleeting like rays of sun in bitter twilight
Her touch has faded and his embrace gone cold
He closes his eyes, glimpsing flashes of her bright crimson hair
Her rich chocolate eyes…
His own fallen angel, pure and untainted
The light of day dying like the light in her eyes
Branded at birth with a searing iron
Condemned even before the burning flesh has cooled
Endless toil and an interminable struggle
Amongst the licks of flames in a personal hell
But Ginny, she was destined for heaven
Her face is a heavenly vision. She's my warrior woman.
The cool and gentle respite from my hellish mission
During these black days, she was the brightest star in the heavens.
