The Glamour Fell On Him
Love who were you
To this fallen tomb
Only I that without grave
May ask you
Was there some battle
To which you were a spirit
That you lay deathless
Without ease
Who was your tormentor
Who invokes the rivers rage
The heavens vengeful thundering
The earths restlessness
The beasts pity
Who was your love
Read the rest of the poem Show less
And where might she be found
Beyond the skys limits
Or beneath the sacred ground
A whispering soul by night
And by day an amber ring of light
Her hungered soul
To the hall of saints
And laments are keened
Only in the fullness of summer
Did you dream of her
in the heat of war
was she your inspiration
a lovers touch that lingered
stirring blood in fight for liberation,
did she whisper softly as canon roared
her words a sweet seduction
a promise of the spoils of war
a feast to quell a timeless,
a relentless thirst for freedom.
Was she pretty as the girls I dream
with fire for hair and skin so fair
birdlike whisperings in lilting tunes
as she swept along in meadows sweet
did she impart from tender heart
the secrets of your fate
that given time, and many a fight
many heroes laid to rest,
your land would dance to its own tune,
invaders truly vanquished.
