Distilling Shelly








autumns west wind blows
unseen presence disturbs leaves
seeds drift in the cold

black rains  fall like tears
ghost enchanter walks on air
over my lone grave

my corpse cold as ice
wild spirits guard my cool peace
azure sky sets soon

decaying earth lost
he dreams of unrest and death
to late my needs fade

now thinking of her
bright hair glowing in the dark
wind comes softly sweet

moving thick black hair
storms power mighty and swift
black rain falls like tears

mourns the dieing year
he dreams of springs honeyed taste
full of flesh so soft

weight of time grows late
dancing visions death so near
all is lost to him


shadows of youth faded
time saves none
death
