Milady Amaranth

Milady Amaranth

Written by Adam M. Snow

 

Milady Amaranth, who hides thy face so dear;

such beauty shrouds such mystery-

be it only by fear, fear of thy morning glory.

But it not be a dream to guide thee.

But it be a dream to guide me.

A song sought after thy voice Milady,

thus it be thy eternity sought after.

To grasp thy brokenness, to grasp thy longing;

to wake thyself from mongering.

 

My Amaranth, my flower which grows in many shades;

be ye my Amaranth that never fades.

Thy voice which echoes my name by night,

thy beauty like starry clusters bright;

Milady shrouds of mystery and light,

be my love, my longing life.

But it's a life that cannot be,

forever my heart aches of thee.

Dost thou not knowth my name by heart?

 

O ye Blameless of a Name-

where thee of Darkness dwells,

captivate thy love in greater dells.

Hearken ye, these olden tales,

deep in the pits where life dare not go,

and stream of life cease to flow.

From ye that of Joyous ends,

and that of tragic bends,

forever spun upon thy pen.

I know what happened the day I fell,

as I reach for thee, I bid ye fare-thee-well.

I like your style of writing. Your words and imagery were excellent! Very well written!!

[RedInk524]

I like the old english dialect, it gave the poem a sense of great experience and wisdom. You are very talented in this style of yours. I am favoriting this. I also like how you got inspiration from nightwish, i love nightwish.

Love and loss both are heart wrenching to say the least. Love, though hard to find sometimes is only made sweeter after suffering a loss. Loss though painful as it is, is but a tool to teach us how to love. Very thought prevoking piece. A joy to read!

[Inyourshadow]

I found myself imagining Arthur and his knights as I read this piece, it seemed to speak so of the paragon and his lady fair. You capture the olde style perfectly within the flowing lines of a hearts desire, such light romance and pleading. Love it, keep em' coming.

Knoweth.

[Raven Starhawk]

Such a beautiful title that for me was a step in the right direction. I figured every word had its own life and its own memories as they sing a song of life, love, and sadness. There are so many wonderful descriptions locked within every stanza and they carry it through to a great end.

[Forgotten Soldier]

I think this is actually a really good "sad" poem. The ending seemed rather mutual, even though the internal conflict must have been terrible. A really good interprettation. Nightwish would be proud.
