To behold her beauty
would enslave your soul
Fair upon fairest
from love she has stole

Ageless as time
forever in white
Yet black as a raven
midair in flight

Flowing through forests
so shimmering green
A river of sadness
from tears left unseen

Suitors that see
soon become lost
With only a glance
their death is the cost

Eyes cast in blue
with darkness at heart
Nothing from nothing
they’re torn apart

Man’s full deceit
has given her wrath
Lies and untruth
in exile the path

Dare to chance
a moment to miss
Only the faithful
will try to resist

Life drained away
they turn to dust
She smiles to release
on faith of no trust

An endless charade
of blood and desire
Empty yet full
and into the fire

Tempt her no more
and let her remain
Frigid and burning
to end her domain
