DD - Anaildubh - Ophelia's Demon

Ophelia's Demon

no more tears
her eyes are dry
no more sobs
she is still and cold
no more cries
her voice is silenced
no more pain
she's beyond feeling now
she lies, pale and lovely,
in an ebony-winged embrace
and the luminous ivory of her skin
is cold
she looks like she is sleeping;
her lips are red and soft
and they whisper a gentle smile
that tells of dreams unknown...
but the kiss of death is on her;
she holds no life nor breath
and the eyes which once spoke of mysteries
are closed, now, forever.
no mortal now can harm her;
and she will never tell
that they were the ones who drove her here
to her eternal sleep...

and the black-winged demon's eyes are cold...

as a ring of fire surrounds him
and his precious burden,
he shrieks a curse
to the eyes that watch
and slowly and gently
lifts into flight
vanishing through a portal
of green and silver light...
