She Painted Fire Across The Skyline

Oh dismal mourning...
I open my weary eyes once again
My life has been left hollow and ashes have filled the gorge of my within
Last night I hoped and wished I'd die in my sleep but no catharsis was granted to me
Will this pain ever pass?
The enchanting perfume of winter and the bleak, cold breath of her still haunts me...
Oportet ubique pulchritudinem evanescere

So half of me rode to the mountains and the other half soared high in the winds to a place where the angels had fallen, the soil gagged and choked on their wings
My soul was the pale skyline that she stretched across the horizon
Two years had brought the fire that she paints upon my loathsome canvas

She is the dark one...
As a bird I watched her from my cold tower in the heavens and when she fell from the northplace, I flew down and embraced her
I took her where the snow falls forever, she showed me the haunted woods
We gathered together in the oaken palace, free from both death and life
The fire blazed in her eyes one day and she tore the soul from my chest
With a bleeding heart, I flew back to my cold tower to never escape and lie in a pool of death forever

I saw the nightfall...
It called to me like a river of shadows
It sang to me with the cries of a thousand ravens that blackened the sky as they took flight and sank the Sol
I shall never trust the sun again, Eridanis Nadir

I ran away far into the woods
To find the Sol, I called to her...
"I don't want to be forgotten...I never wanted to be human"
NEVER!!!!!

So alas the sun had descended, her fire burned brilliant in the sky
The trees bore their withered silhouettes, that cast a spell upon unearthly white
No wolf shall keep his secrets, no bird shall dance the skyline
And I am left with nothing but an oath that gleams like a sword
To bathe in the blood of man
Mankind...

It's a masterpiece psygnar ,,,your poem touches my very soul,

Your poem is dark,mystical,,rugged raw ,like drawing blood on a pale remote landscape it cuts into the poets raw emotional sense of being in isolation but awakened to the beauty of nature both in the darkness and light.


You are indeed a poet of this centruary,well done.wine handshake .

This is not your poem or your song lyrics,
psygnar. Uncool, to say the least.

These lyrics, at time 4:30, are from the band Agalloch - She Painted Fire Across the Skyline (Part I II III)

@beautiful you - never claimed it was mine. hence i left the author title blank.
if i did say it was mine or claimed it to be mine then my bad.
i post stuff which means something to me and i care to share so you folk can know whats out there. Not like everyone knows whats out there and most people including myself miss out on alot.

psygnar, it is not if you did claim it as yours, you did in fact do that by not openly unclaiming it as yours. You did this in two ways.

One, you deliberately left the Author title blank... you did not directly credit Agalloch. Even if you "didn't know" the author of this work, you do know you did not write this and, you did not openly acknowledge that.

Two, you did not let the two women who commented (who thought this was written by you and highly complimented you as such) know that YOU did not write this.

If you want to share someone else's work because it means something to you, or so "you folk can know whats out there", then, by all means, give proper credit so we truly know what's out there, and share what you personally want to share in the "About this poem" space alloted any poem or artistic work.

Anything short of that is plagiarism making any pretentious 'oops' or 'my bad' pretty serious.
