The Daring

By Nimue44

Daunter, haunter, owner of my darkest hours,
Dark angel, cruel muse,
My one and only lover,
Tell me, once and for all,
How many songs more?

Winged awakened nightmare,
Release me, I beg you,
No more wander!
I’m spellbound, torn asunder,
By your raven sweet sound that thunders.

Because,
How to dance around the bonfire?
How to light the pyre…
And how to rise from the ashes?

Little phoenix, you called me,
But then you parted.
I had the forest, you the matches.

You once dared me to fly with you.
Well then, I dare you to return, in flesh and bone.
You brought me the darkness.
Time to harvest what you sown.
