Sianna

By Lucia

Twixt the scarlet eve of raising desire
‘Neath the lavender sky o’er a deserted mire
A fog erupts from the forest bathed in moonlight
Whispers in tomorrow echoing tonight

A forbidden castle resting deep within
The primordial mists of lore
Walls of impenetrable marble
Wherein alone, banned in fear she dwell
From the womb of pain darkness fell

From death’s embrace her grace was spun
The clouds had formed her in all that was done
Growing alone with nothing to rely upon
Tragedy her name as death played along

In the glossy vision of the night
A reflection of blood shimmered back

Sianna, a shadow serpentine through the fog

…Beauty in darkness was sworn
For fear of the unknown ‘twas abhorred

Born of the Teutonic race
The night, an eternal veil o’er her face
Remains of her past entwined in fate
With beauty revealed, the breath of a storm unfurled

Sympathy cries her dreaded name
Her amber flask of wine shatters as art

Damp and gloomy the path she walks shadowed
Drenched in the death of her enemies
With a taste of the ancient’s potent blood
Poisoned, forever changing in fear

Skin as bloodied silk with a taste of fire
Sweeter than all fruit born in nature
Bitter the wind that danced with
Those black strands of ivy

Succulent her lips sleek smooth and black
As velvet strands that commanded death
As gentle to eve, ‘fore the night of the storm
Gracious this shadow in still life to mourn

Wings swiftly graze the night’s breath
Lamentations of her heart frozen in death

In a voice so soothing as the heavens
She rose with two chimes past eleven…

Insatiable the man would hunt the fear
For Sianna, the mistress shed not one tear

Tormented in pleasure by killing the mortal
With their blood spilled upon the thyme behind her ear
Romantic as a taste of the wine brought worth to living
As another breath was taken, death she live for being

Her eyes glowing in the bleak garden
The only light provided by lustrous haze

A sky of azure and tears of wine
The countess of fallen hope, dying in time

Solitude, ebony’s broken angel sighed
Beside the drifting waters ‘pon a sleeping shore
Silent, the night falls before her feet
The world so numb to her tranquil sleep

She kneeled beside the moon’s grim light
Milky white skin smooth and anxious
Voluptuous, her movement in strife
Sensual, macabre through life
With she a pleasure, death would desire

Dark widow flushed in black
Lunar light rise my spell to cast
Laceration of her wounds for pleasure
To dawn upon thou world…

Upon her chest, a glistening jewel
Her promise in life, for man bred betrayal
The universe inside, with love denied
A vision of darkness would fade in time

Led through the darkness
By lascivious desire
Glimmered pallid reflections
Of Eden in sleep

Flesh smooth unto the earth
Nails dug deep into her roots
United with magic, at one with Hecate
This blood aching to be free of herself
The fortune to be in shambles of pain

Strength that man held paled in comparison
Stronger than death could muster in she
An aura of luring passion in sexuality free
Her love held within the amulet upon her chest
Rusting between autumn’s blood dripping o’er her breast

Deceived by the light
Her spirit, darker than the night
Eyes gleaming of cerulean stars
Shimmering in the silence of her beauty

She at home with the mantra of spell
Deserted in heaven, bred for will by hell
Waning hope had shattered her release
For falling in love was only a dream

With nature by her side
A cluster of white wolves
With poison barring their fangs
A smirk brought to her face…

Poisoned by the darkest of all, an archangel
Blood of the darkness wove upon her lips
Grace of the heavens abode her forbidden kiss

Isis her blade, blood
She would flick her tongue upon
Laughing as their screams
Echoed on…

In the beauty of night to her dungeon
Where tangled in the chains of darkness
She…held captive…
Entwined in her web of fate

Her heart inside struggling to beat
With a prayer she wished to weep
An escape from the pain she could not find
But love would come as a savior…
Sweeter than the taste of bloodied wine

Before she dreamt
Awakening from a nightmare
Gates release blurry visions amidst
Emptiness…her fingertips brought mercy
To all of agony

Wherein Sianna dances alone
Emotion falling numb to the
Autumn breeze that whispers
Eternity unto her

Servant of the dawn
Widow of dusk in the
Unforgiving moon

Wherein she so alone…

In anger, her gaze of auburn frost
To damn those to ever stand before her

An eternal blaze
Raising a glimmer of reflection
Child of the night
Who deemed her soul askew?

Nothing could ever touch her
Impervious, a heart of thorns
Sovereignty, her desire for their blood
Passion for awakening again…

By midnight, shadows in fog
A dark rule, a fallen angel
Mystery swirled upon tender hips
Divinity’s heart within her fist

The splashing of death caressed her lips…

Those of longing to shed her blood
Had nothing that she could not offer
For she, made herself need no one
But for her heart, Sianna wept alone

And as she not failed to show
The perfection in darkness, they failed to know

With desire in ambition with the kiss of the moon
A prayer of wishes falling in pure ire
Empathy they not show, poison upon lips to swoon
Mercy, forbidden to her tongue

The wind blowing free with darkness bloomed in thee
Love as wanton as the blood of the mortal

Destined, forever alone?
Destined…forever she not know…forever she not care…

By midnight, fallen star…(wherein moonlight falls sweeter than the mauve)

Wherein moonlight falls…Sianna re-born
(Darkness is conceived in saccharine blood)
Wherein moonlight falls…love will bloom…
(Sianna stands benighted…wherein moonlight falls)
