She closed her dreams into her teardrops 

from reality's sharp-clawed demons 

She hid her face of tearful eyes 

from the scan of this grotesque world 

As petals her wings are falling 

like angelic curses from eternal welkin 

her serene dreams are vanishing 

exiled far from the frozen light 

She held a dead rose in her hands 

passing memory of a divine land 

Her mate -- darkness -- adopted her 

shielded her body so frail 

Only one place to find peace 

pleasant cradle of her dreams 

a world within
