Dark Queen Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

I had not realized that you were so beautiful
Raven-haired - with eyes of summer blue

Heartbreaker of the anguished
Heart-stiller of the vanquished

Tell me - where are the lovers of the lostly past
Enchanted, beguiled - passing to oblivion at last?

Heartbreaker of the anguished
Heart-stiller of the vanquished

Tell me - where are the warriors once fiercely brave
Mouldering, forgotten - cherished only by the lonely grave?

Heartbreaker of the anguished
Heart-stiller of the vanquished

Do you the harvester of souls - through love and death
Still deal in faithless kisses and each failing final breath?


[a chant for the Morrigan]
