love's death: a sonnet

eternal eyes,
goddess hair,
longing stare,
sorrow belies.


wistful guise.
failing care.
resigned despair,
mortal lies.


arcane lips,
lost face.


blood drips,
love's trace.


life's eclipse,
finally chaste.

I have been listening to a lot of celtic music as of late, and this poem brings to mind a tune that is quite haunting...as is this poem.
