Shades enfold the azure dawn
Alliteration unveils her talons
Howling vulture winds
Unleashed

Hearken the wail of skies

Crepes carved by stars
Retreat before the upheaval
Skies weep ivory despair
Auburn leaves like wounds
Defy the waking season
Dale soon to be wreathed
With garland of frost

Enthralled I stare
As domes of thunder near
Can you feel a fiery stung
Thirst for embers of soul
Asylum in ruins
Iced stakes through calm

Zephyrs preach of mortality
Fragmented and frail
Scarlet frozen ponds
Reflect naked vines
Tusks of tender chill
Swallow the warmth within
