Her Descending Ghost

Voices of the raving nymphs revive
Narrating a tale from long ago
Singing for the charming
New wed bride on a brightful day of summor.

Through meadows of flowers
She ran in mirthful hours
Her laughter disrupted by teeth of venom
Like crystal, her heart froze
Before her strained eyes could close
Silent tears of horror
On her descending ghost.

She turns her eyes
She falls, she dies.

His beloved motionless was found
Mourning forests echoing her name
Tunes of sorrow played in dreadful sound
Brought to nature such discomfort.

Through meadows of flowers
She ran in mirthful hours
Her laughter disrupted by teeth of venom
Like crystal, her heart froze
Before her strained eyes could close
Silent tears of horror
On her descending ghost.

Days and nights he wept
Charmed the trees and mountains
Yet in hopeful thoughts
Love you shall reclaim.
