Yar!

Sadly, this post is not pirate related. Just another one I've been working on. A few places are clunky and not...lyrical enough for me. I'm just an elf at heart man. Enjoy!

What Else?

The stars still whimper
the stars still whine
weeps that the threads
of our loves would never entwine

I see her still, the purple wreathed
Muse; sweet jasmine crown
upon her dark sewn hair
of brown

For a short time we found
a steep valley, hidden vale; oceans
of great lilies pale that swayed
in the wind, leading to moonlit foray

And it would be no lie to confess
fantasy unfolded in warmth of
a time sewn nest; where all the
world stopped silent in reverence

But winter comes ever creeping,
lilies die, hearts fade, leafless
branches full of weeping;
threads unravel; great distance; lone travel

And so quick the silver valley
fell to shadow; thoughts not thought
feelings not felt - things of failure
sighs of regret

Ages have passed, great kingdoms
fallen. Yggdrasil trembles and
new worlds are dawning. but
something remains in two distant minds

Two stories remember and you only with
mine; you've no choice but to follow
my recollection and wandered meanderings.
an insisting reflection:

It must matter not what tragedy
was wrought -- aftermaths and angry
talks, if you but cherished the
moment before it stopped

Even if regret does follow,
if you but kissed like you meant
it for that moment in time, frenzy
filled touches could never be hollow

So despite what you think
Despite what you say and despite
where you go; however different for
you the story did unfold

For but a moment your whole life
mattered and
Color me confused, but
What else could you possibly be after?
