Sylphian Longing

445


She walked the moonlit caves

In dreams trudging on reality

Her ethereal glow recast in lakes

Overflowed with the blood of royalty

Her hair blew in the wisps of dusk

Her silhouette verisimilitude

She foretold of the shadows to come

Of broken souls and disloyal truths

Her heart longed for the pieces of her soul

Lost in the multitude

Of barren lies and unkept promises

As she embraced her cold solitude

How appearances deceive and disguises reveal

The shaken faith in our forgotten homes

As we leave the comfort of kind

In fernweh of buried bones

Time had bred cobwebs

Around her hearts desires

What once was comfort

Now had her mind mired

She willed to break free

From the wraiths of dead humanity

But the fog of her wailing self

Couldn’t raise her from the books credibility

And so, pens bled feverishly

To keep her torn soul alive

Writers lost in trance

Blind that her spirit had long died

She walked undead on moonlit terrains

And drowned in lakes again

But the Sylph couldn’t be brought to life

Once she had died in her artist’s eyes
