4. Her Cherished Mask
5. October Betrothed
1. Red Winter Love
Winter love...
When this bleeding rose shall die
And this barren earth shall offer us lies
I will stay with you - we shall return anew
Winter love...
And under crimson skies
A solitude shall crumble away
To be replaced by unity... forever we shall be
Drawn together by the grace of God
With perfect love to embrace on high
In celebration of unscarred delight
...as the red winter bears its scars for us
2. Elegance In Death
Where wilt thou lie?
Face like marble, oh stone of mine
Your beauty etched in a dream so sweet
Where the earth and the sky shall meet
I walk the night
With your memories caught up in mine
Where daylight buries all signs bereft
And where you lie in the throes...
Of death
And your beauty summons me
To dwell with you in eternity
Where all life lies in the shattered glass
And all love dies in your broken mask
Seen through this broken mirror
All sunlight in discarded slivers... of glass
A scar torn upon this face of ours
As in the lie of love (we lie...)
And how can this be?
This cold caress, is it desire or dream
To capture words in your stolen face
To lie forever in a fatal embrace
And as the wind rustles through our trees
Your ashen face is touched by my breeze
To collect this elegant statue
...I behold you in a state of rapture
What is this life that takes away such beauty?
As I seek to join you, you are lost to me
Elegance in death
Your face
..so cold
And yet
Untouched
By eternity
3. ...To Suffer Silently
Take my hand and let me dream
Of frost bitten summers, of forests deep
Fires of dead scattered rotting leaves
Will warm broken hearts... melt sorrow to sleep
With a cloud of rapture above me
Floods of silent rains
Proud in desolation
Silent through pain
Take my hand and let me dream
Of frost bitten summers, of forests deep
Desire - to forget and neglect me
Discordance floods in torrents
And shapes this earth to be
With a cloud of rapture above
Floods of silent rains
Bulge my pure white sails of shame
Melt my feelings away
...away
4. Her Cherished Mask
With the lengthening shadows
...the waning of the sun
I hear your call
In this daylight hour
As the day shall pass
So our love will die
To leave us alone
As your wear your cherished mask
As hope springs eternal
May your rivers run through me
With this unending supremacy
Of nightmare... and need
Our tears in silence gently fall
Crystals from our lives
And in the shadows we are joined
To mourn this passing day
So dusk shall fall
And we sleep within its wake
We stand alone
As you wear the mask of moonlight
As hope springs...
My silent partner, you walk with me in everything
We walk this road together, eternally to bring
To stand alone - and honour our past
Staring into darkness... looking through your mask
(as the moonlight forever fades)
5. October Betrothed
With love to guide us
Forever, we'll stay side by side
In perfect, unbalanced harmony
Autumn; my bride
With darkness as our light
Only death can divide
This heavenly joining of ours...
With heaven by our side
Autumn and sun collide
Ours is the fruit
...of eternal salvation
And none can divide
This meeting of cold and light
You are eternally entwined
In this love of mine
Sunlight reaps our harvests of love
And winter shall bear our child
We stand - together as one
Autumn; my bride
With darkness...
To transcend this earth
With love to bring to birth
This marriage of earth and sky
A love born not to die
You're my spirit, eternal soul
A blackness that comforts all
And you're my life eternally
With the love I grant to thee
To stay by my side through all
To stay with me until we fall
To lie for all to see
To die embracing me
For I am yours as thou art mine
Granted until the end of time
A love to grace this midnight sky
For me to hold until we die
...my October Betrothed
