You know how I said a character in the vampire story I'm working on wrote my song Haunted Dream? Well, she's not the only poet around, and so this is a love song/lullaby (whoa, big surprise) written by my main vampire dude (lol I get amused by calling him that), who eventually gets together with the character who wrote Haunted Dream. They're the main couple. (Aww...)
In this song he makes several references to my version of vampiric history, so if you want to know more detail, search twilit lullaby on d e v i a n t a r t dot c o m, where my username is BrushstrokesofFire (I sense a trend). In brief, my vampires are mostly a separate race from humans, and they used to be Anwi (think Tolkien Elves with angel wings). They also used to live in an Elvenhome-type place in the west of their medieval-ish world, before they fled here.
So here are the words. ^-^
My true love holds wild green moor in her eyes,
Where sage ever flowers and thyme never dies--
Don't ask me to freeze thyme in winterglass cold!
Let springtime eternal thy heartbeat enfold.
I gave her one rose--
Bloodred, like that shrine
By pilgrim defiled--
This hunger of mine.
Crimson it glows,
His gaze who will plunder
Her quickening life and her starry-eyed wonder!
The tide willing flows:
Your heart drums like thunder--
And sage-moor still grows
In green eyes that shine...
Shall blood-cross unbind me?--
You welcome my thirst.
Dark legends will find me,
Long wing-shorn and cursed.
Twilight Star, you lead me home—that haven loved we lost:
It glistens far, like oceanfoam—you sing the midnight cost!
Redeem my wings, O mortal child--
Translucent moth by the dark beguiled!
We yearn, we dream, unreconciled:
Forgotten soul's delight...
Bewitched by silver night!
A lullaby I'll sing tonight of stars that never fade...
Twilight Star, don't be afraid--
Beloved of a Shade.
The Shadow, it cast us a deep, silent spell--
In mercy, from heaven and dawnflight we fell:
The tidal roar calls us with longing unnamed--
And heart's pulsing ocean, desire has claimed.
My nymph darkly fair,
Like ice keep you still--
To life bound by garnet, my bloodwish fulfill.
Such poignance you bear
For beauty and sorrow,
In raven's hue clad and forsaken by morrow!
Too lovesick to care,
The dreamcall you follow--
And fealty I swear:
Your bloodsong, my will.
This heart is my ocean
And starlight of dusk--
Unearthly devotion,
Enchantment's sweet musk...
Twilight Star, you lead me home—that haven loved we lost:
It glistens far, like oceanfoam—you sing the midnight cost!
Redeem my wings, O mortal child--
Translucent moth by the dark beguiled!
We yearn, we dream, unreconciled:
Forgotten soul's delight...
Bewitched by silver night!
A lullaby I'll sing tonight of stars that never fade...
Twilight Star, don't be afraid--
Beloved of a Shade.
Beautiful dream cloaked in mystery--
Snow-silver gleam hides in ebony:
Your veins to me sing--
Your eyes glow with Spring!
You rise, as by Anwirin wing...
If I am a prince of the starlight and shade,
Forsake mortal fire--
I know your desire:
Let ice-crystal spring never fade...
Twilight Star, you lead me home—that haven loved we lost:
It glistens far, like oceanfoam—you sing the midnight cost!
Redeem my wings, O mortal child--
Translucent moth by the dark beguiled!
We yearn, we dream, unreconciled:
Forgotten soul's delight...
Bewitched by silver night!
A lullaby I'll sing tonight of stars that never fade...
Twilight Star, don't be afraid--
Beloved of a Shade.
