The Winter Wolf

Silent whispers on broken vows, I cling to my dream of you. You are the forest’s end, the wolf’s grin. Climbing to the edge of bliss and sin, There’s noting to obscure the view. Looking to the sky laced with clouds, my eyes pierce the haze. You danced into my world as a child. Untamed, beckoning me to the wild. You unleashed my wings, bloodying my back, spirit crazed. Little wolf, silver blade by my side. We ran through the wood, Constantly seeking to bloody our prey. I am full on the carrion and broken pride. Now you are gone, and all I have is your ghost. A child, a maiden, a lover, a memory. Frost grips at the beautiful ivory, To the life I lead, to the path you craved most.
