Kono

A series of Haiku, for she who is fading -

Velvet of Eden,
Thou hast diminished from here,
None will see again.

Red is your sweet skin,
The night hath become thine veil,
Perfume in shadow.

You are night, then day,
You are the moon, then the sun,
Heart of Antheia.

Woven in the dusk,
Blooming in the light of Dawn,
Your secrets untold.

Your tears are the rain,
Falling to my mortal heart,
Your voice is the wind.

The woods are thine dress,
Beauty, return unto me,
Sing unto mine soul.

Tears fall from mine eye,
I am alone in this life,
without my Kono.

Sing again of Moon,
Upon the mountain, your throne,
Be with my heart.

Sing of the lilies,
Of the night in the Heavens,
Of Starlight, do sing.

Your voice be the wind,
Speak softly to me, my love,
I am here with you.

Whisper to my heart,
Stay here as I pass away,
Avalon beckons.

As I pass over,
Over water and moonlight,
Sing once more Kono.

Sing of the water,
Sing of the moonlit lilies,
Fading into dream.
