The Dark Renaissance

The Dark Renaissance

A Poem by Charlotte Wensleydale

The Dark Renaissance

Departed now,
Beyond the end
You spring once
More to life,
To drag then mine
Hewn from the rock
Of my years-long
Prison you gave me.

The blackest river
Flows, the stench
Of jealousy from
One who covets
Things you see
Within the art
That I can conjure.

But let that
Tale that died
Once now die twice,
Release the fury
That makes you
Boil within into the air.

Leave me now
To claim the life
You tried to wreck
From ruin down
Below me in the
Canyon where you
Left me.
