Literature Text

From love she grows
'Til love lies slain
Nevermore
To love again

Heart stopped beating
In fair breast
Dewey eyes
Forever to rest

Two pearls lost
No oyster can compete
Roses buds dimmed
From chill of the sea

Porcelain to paste
Love to loss
Welcoming kisses
Poisoned with frost

Locks of starlight
Irrevocably dark
Deaf to the delight
Of favorite morning lark

Bedsheets of brown
Lovers of worms
Never aware of
When death and joy turned

Blissful in forever
Where laughter has fled
Tears perform the final washing
Of her peaceful, empty head.
I heard the lines "From love she grows 'Til love lies slain" in the game Dragon Age: Origins, actually. And it made me want to write so fiercely that I couldn't help it.

Mmph. This is awesome. I really liked the fourth stanza, and the entire poem, with the short lines and great mental images, was just lovely. :) Great job.
