Doves
Oh sweet dove, how lonely are you?
Are your wings broken or are you unable to move?
You are such a comely thing, so fragile and fair.
Where is your key?
Shall it open your cage?
Oh sweet dove, how long have you prayed?
You may be free but you are still mine.
Gliding on fragile wings I still hold you in my palm.
You are mine sweet dove.
I will give you to no other.
He respired, dainty lashes falling to the cased features of the moon’s shadow. He leaned against the windows frame, glassy orbs focused on the eternal bliss of the sky.
Oh sweet dove.
Only thoughts of solitary poignant lead the youths. He felt tired in a way, lonesome in a thought. Night was harsh to this reality, for only those of the curse could truly understand the full intensity of this emotion.
The day was bearable, the afternoon was peaceful, but as necessary it all must end. A clear autumn night, a fresh breeze with only the slight shiver of the trees. The ebony sky leaked trimmings of violet, all of which contained the trinkets of the gods, silver resplendent treasures of the heavens, the stars that rose over the fountains of opaque liquescent.
How cruel is it?
The pain of his cracking veneer, it was enough to feel the nagging rage of his senses. Almost, to not feel at all, to be numb and a shell, that would be true relief. He could not bring himself to admit this, he wanted warmth, to give and to receive, but this and everything else was not enough.
He hummed. No tune, no hymn just the song that rested his thoughts. He drove it, he made it, it was he but he did not except it. He refused and rebuked all of which would become of him.
Of which the wings wore torn from their backs as they were cast into hell.
Surely he could be redeemed?
Icy digits, blue lips, eyes and lids of darkness, he was that embodiment. No refusal could contain his contempt. The loneness…. The fear, rejection, he knew it all to well.
His only fear…hate of him. Now this, only this, all of this, it was all of him and only him.
