Winter Lies Before Me
From the eyes of Kikyo
-
Like the summer was our love.
Long ago when the sun still shone
Across our open hearts.
When gold was my morning,
And silver was my night.
The heavenly bodies quivered,
And I held you in my eyes.
-
Never was a glance
More like a caress,
Than when you and I
Stole away through the night.
Escaped the knowing glares,
And disapproving murmurs.
For a summer, we were free.
-
Swiftly did winter come for us.
Turned warm whispers of our future
Into cold silence.
Claws tore and words scarred.
My sun turned from me,
And my moon faded.
All was silent for a long while.
-
Snow fell over our still hearts,
Hid the red stains
Beneath a blanket of blinding white.
Somewhere flowers blossomed,
Rain pattered on sun-drenched roofs.
But we remained frozen
And forgotten.
-
The sun rose for you again.
She came in blue and green,
Like the summer skies
And the warm spring grasses.
Dusted the snow from your heart.
Melted the ice in your eyes.
Pulled my imprisonment from your chest.
-
Bitter winds still blow.
Unable to live,
Unable to die,
I am left to watch you bloom once more
In the light that is not my own,
With eyes that are not my own.
Winter lies before me.
