Your Eyes Were Green With Me by Xiran
Winner for July 2023
Your Eyes Were Green With Me -25th of Urlachmar, 655 CE- Did I lose you to the sea, Or were you the one to leave? I remember when your eyes were green. Traces like footsteps in the sand, Washed away from Verdant Land. Did I lose you to the sea, Sailing to shores beyond me? Cruel as kelpies 'neath the waves, Would you send me to my grave? I remember when you danced with me. Hands I held in joy and grief and wrath, Would you now deny my path? Did I lose to vision thin, Deceiving you and my kin? Did I lose you to the sea, Or were you the one to leave? I remember when your eyes were green. Mortal choice made this circumstance; Must we mark this our last dance? How'd I lose you to the sea, Sister once in fae fealty? Did I lose to vision thin On a distant horizon? I remember when you danced with me. Choices that we cannot reweave, It serves none for us to grieve. Did I lose to vision thin, That we could not be wherein? Did I lose to what could be / vision thin, On a distant horizon? I remember / I remember / I remember When your eyes were green / with me.
