Summer Rains
.. ..
In the surrounding stormy sky
Can be perceived the faintest echo
Of a fair maiden’s final sigh
That stole her soul from the greedy world
It stole her very life
Carried with the tears that rain down
On midsummer night’s eve
.. ..
Once carried on the summer night
The lilt of melodious if melancholy laughter
Blessing every ear on its flight
The fairest maiden graced the land
With skin as pure as the moonlight
And her lips like crimson
Held a hidden kiss in the far corner
.. ..
Oh to win the fairest and dearest prize!
So many men did wish to woo
They saw such beauty in her eyes
Her love was coveted by all in the land
But she alone knew the truth from the lies
She knew the elixir from the venom
The scarlet from the white
.. ..
A prince came on his flying steed
And stole her heart away
She only tried not to deceive
She showed the deepest taint in her soul
Too scared to love too scared to leave
Her truth was exposed and his love soured
In a moment her heart had shattered
.. ..
Seeing and lamenting over so much pain
He gave her the love that could save her
Could purge the darkest taint from her veins
And she embraced the poison willingly
She saw the truth and chance for escape
In the open arms and open heart he offered
Knowingly she embraced her fate
.. ..
She flew to love to cleanse her stains
She loved and died under the summer rains
