Arcanum bride
A golden ring of oaths wore on the fare
the sound of steeling knell and windy call;
angelical her face in streams of air;
my recklessness escorted with her call.
She fled inside the gray - transformed to drops;
above the fields consenting to her clouds;
Amid the dusky shades of tall tree tops,
Imparted lives, a solitary shroud;
Arcane her call, inviting knell, the bride
around my sentiments, henceforth, she orb'd,
a quilt of nimbus covered me and cried,
my life became a bird, the skies absorbed.
She stared at me from far beyond, in dark;
unreal, flying o'er the ringing field,
the Angels trumpeting ssailed our barque
my one betrothal vow, in Styx distilled.
In Acheronian lakes my spirit gleamed;
with thousand drops of rain where tears belong
she fled above the shroud of mist redeemed,
and crowned the waxing of the moon, along.
