Winter Wake

By Tagen

Stark winds howl,
​Embracing eternal night.
​Leper skin, fallow.
​Breathing out eternal sin,
I wake.

​The distress in the skies knows my name.
​Winter secrets know my pain.
​Dire consequence,
​Loving the game.
I lie...

Beneath frozen rivers,
​Running fro and to,
Desire's sacrifice
​Breathing into


Eternal wake.



Breathe,
Release.



Wake.
​Wake.
