Morrowseer's Deathsong

By Kittyluvver
A very sad poem, told from the point of view of Morrowseer as he dies in the volcanic eruption. His last thought is of Blister.
.
When the world was young, the moon was bright
the sun and sands danced in endless harmony
light and shadow were one and the same
and the night was filled with song
I close my eyes
When I met you, the stars shone bright
Golden sand and golden scales, eyes deep 
and bottomless as sea and night
and the sky was filled with song
You were my light
We walked along the lonely shores
Sticks and pale pebbles below the moon
And morning dew and silver frost
And my life was filled with song
You were my hope
You held the stars in your hands
In your horns, the boughs of mighty trees
Paler than the arctic snow
Your beauty took my breath away
You were my sun
You held the glory of the night
Gripped between your jeweled claws
You filled my world with endless light
Blooming between the twilit trees
You were my love
And on a night filled with brilliant stars
You held my hand and whispered to me
That through fire, storm, and thunder's call
You'd wait for me, at the home we share
Then autumn came, dew-drop leaves
torn and spiraled away into the coming storm
I saw the night inside your eyes
And we both knew what we had to do
And so I let you go
And so you went and chased the night
Sought the stars and the burning crown
You lit the sky and sands aflame
And you burned brighter than them all
And so you let me go
And so I went and chased the light
Wove my lies and my secret sins
For the truth is naught but the slowest poison
Running betwixt my dying veins
But then of course the winter came
And the world unraveled in our claws
Threads and words fly from my reach
And I cannot make my mine again
sorrow
Where is the life we should have had?
Underneath the beauty of the moon?
The waves crash on our lonely shores
But we don't return there anymore
alone
Where the song of the lovely night?
Where is the song of the empty sky?
I reach but you are far away 
And the world is quiet no more
silence
Are you dead? Do you live still?
If you live, will you wait for me?
Lonely shores beneath the palest moon
Shadowed night with velvet touch
Go home once more, to the home we share
I am lost, but I will find you there
Are you dead? Will you wait for me?
Like you said you would so long ago?
If I am lost and close my eyes
Will you be there on the other side?
Go home once more, to the home we share
I am lost, but I will find you there
Let the fires have me
I don't
care
anymore
I am coming, my love
Are you there?
You won't need 
to wait 
much 
longer
Don't cry.
You are beautiful
No, I'm not afraid
I'll be there soon.
Will you wait for me?
I'll wait for you
Don't cry
I love you
 
I am
               burning
Fire
             tearing
skin
         flesh
bone
               no more
I am 
                 suffering
pain
           agony
close 
               my eyes
one 
                last time
don't
cry
I...
                think...
                              of...
                                       you
and...
               I...
                               smile
I…
           love…
                      you...
                                       ...
I…
           love…
                      you...
                                       ...
I…
                   love…
                                         …
                                                            …
                                                                                   …
