The Dream Prelude Date: Friday, 7th May 2004 @ 06:54:54 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: merry ______________________ Chained in a cold cell Fed through a hole in the wall I dreamt about you in midday Wept for all that we lost When there was nothing left to mourn Daylight swept up from the east Brilliant sky promised clemency Burned my eyes with blueness Choked me with insincerity As I wept for your bones Caskets cannot keep you Blood of martyrdom spilled Across the barren land Distilled into the heart of Ireland Sweet king of my heart Avenged in the bed of your murderer I will relieve him of his life His severed head will adorn your battlements When winter chases the leaves from trees And blood runs red upon the snow Your sons return from foreign lands Armies under your banner unite in victory This poem is Copyright © merry Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
