Glittering purity
Releasing putrid scent of youth
White strawberry blossom
Floating nighttime
It's escort
Through the acid rain
Of lovers' promises.
Fallen statues of cupid
Who's unsteady hand
Doth shoot amiss
Lie
Weeping
Forgotten
In the snow
Where your footsteps have followed
Barefoot
As if in your heart.
The petal's boat
Beckons, beaming black
As daylight, long fled
Ceases to exist
Forever.
Your footsteps mirror
Seasickness,
Up and down
Uneven, unsure, unaware
But still treading
Light, but harsh
Through more than memory
Petty transient emotion
Here with me
Beyond myself
Even eternity.
They place the first marks
Marks of evil
Against once chaste Acheron's shore.
The valley it flows through
Pristine and quiet
Feels no filth from your pollution
No noise echoes
From your unworthy feet
Through the valley above
The upside-down mountain
Known as the bottom of my heart.
Eternal empress grant
Not again but for once
Your favor.
You too stray
From known truth
And rescue me
The petal
From the icy depths
Of Hell's tributary
Before it reaches worse
And the Sirens' song
Has done its duty.
