Sweet Hermione




 6th poem

I've tried several times to write a poem using certain words from the lyrics, but it just didn't work. In the end I took the sentence 'Let's go down to the water's edge', because I could do a lot with it, and got this poem. It's centered around love, like the lyrics (at least I interpret them to be), and... well, how saddening it sometimes can be, I guess. 

The ashes of our love 

Using blotchy ink and discolored paper 
Of my face you’d use to make a sketch 
And I would wait ‘til you were done 
Together, we’d go down to water’s edge. 

Our love was short yet as long as ages 
It was like a burning fire with red flame; 
Passionately, heatedly, without rationality 
And never our game of love was the same. 

You were a talented artist, a honorable poet 
The adventurers in your stories always bold 
Wile we lay together, you’d eagerly tell me 
them; but aside from that, you were so cold… 

Like the fire our love was, of course it burned down 
‘Cause as fiery and great our love might have been 
You were as cold as snow and chased me away; but 
though you will, I won’t forget the stories I’ve seen.
