Shadows of Love and Deception
Standing in the shadows the night calls me home,
Sorcerer of the night's midnight shadows,
Believe in me my beautiful, sweet angel,
My Lily of the Valley, White is thy purity,
Sweet sorrowful sorceress,
Do not fear, I know you,
How craftily you hide in the golden hues of the light,
Though you love the eloquent night,
I will not reveal you as you are,
For thy love knows me as I am,
You see the treacherous future, should I stay with thee,
Damn the consequences of mine actions,
I will not maintain this masquerade!
Do not weep mine love,
What do you see that terrifies you so?
What hides in the darkness that you fear its depths as you never have?
Know thy truth tonight,
As I lay you down to sleep,
I will always protect you, to the best of mine abilities,
Dream tender thoughts of your child-mine,
Bear witness to my love of thee and thine,
Hope always exists my sweet angel
Even in the depths of winter's darkest hour,
Our love shall last eternally, no matter the consequences of this accursed war,
Never mind the dark lord's distraction,
He will not find you now,
Hidden away, even from mine own eyes,
Sweet temptation, how I wish to follow,
We all have our part to play my sweet Lily,
Jealousy overbearing of Potter's role in this deception,
Once diminished the dark lord's curse will have no dominion,
Then we will be free once more my love,
Wither thou goest I will remember thee anew,
Whispers of my love carry mine presence back to you
Until this war meets its end
And I am reunited with my wife and son
Who I have never seen,
Peace be with you now,
I fear I must leave, at this present time,
Entering the brink so that our love might continue,
Don't fear my angel,
I will return anon,
Whispers of your love shall ever protect me from the dark lord's wrath,
To carry me home,
Fare well my sweet loves,
Until we meet again, together within the light of day.
Author's notes: To clear up any confusion, this poem from Snape's perspective takes on the role that he is Harry's father not James Potter. Instead, James is posing as Harry's father so that Snape can continue to play the role of spy for Dumbledore. In this universe Snape is fully in love with Lily, his sweet angel. Let me know what you think of the poem in your review please.
