The Sun of Sanctity

The Sun of Sanctity


The moon of misery has passed
The light is bright and clear
Giving glory to the verdant waste
And warms the Winter air

I can leave my bed
Running to the sun
Forcing my nightmares to lie dead
The visions are finally done

My days were doomed
Heart and soul rapt away
I dreamt I stood by a marble tomb
Where royal corpses lay

'Twas the dark hour of three
When former lives might come
Above their imprisoned dust - set free
And wail their woeful doom

And truly next to me
Beneath the shadow of the tree
Most dim and yet its presence there
Curdled my blood with ghastly terror

My breath I could not draw
The air - ranny and dry
Mouth agape, eyes maddening
Were fixed upon it's evil attire
And it's were fixed on me

I fell down on the stone
Listening to it's triumphant moan
Unable to turn away
I was forced to pray

And still it bent above
It's features full in view
It seemed close by and yet so far
Than this world from the farthest star
It told me my soul was due

Indeed 'twas not the space
Of earth and time between
But the sea of death's eternity
The gulf o'er which mortality
Has never - never been

O bring not back again
The horror of that hour
Let no more tears pour
Or blood erupt from volcanoes of despair


Instead - catch me love
So I might grab hold of your hair
Give lift o'er the cliff
And fly - fly with the doves

Reviews

[Muse]

This poem had an "old time feel", it was dark and melodic. Almost Shakespearean. Great penning kiddo.

[Mockingbird]

brings to mind the image of death come to collect your soul. the inevitability of it. beautifully written, very dark and gothic. nice job.

Where royal corpses lay
LOve that line,as a matter of fact I love the whole poem
Great balance between darkness and the light

Beautifully written, and a very nice composition, the flow is very nice and coincides with the true meaning of Love, in my opinion. I look forward to reading some more of your work.
