Arcane

Writing writing endlessly
ideas floating upon an endless sea 
a starry sky could hardly be 
a more perfect place for you and me 

Letters rippling so clearly and strong 
sounds shimmering but not for long 
two magnets attracting through the throng 
vibrations echoing a soundless song 

An omnipresence forever felt 
playing the darkest hand that was ever dealt 
refusing to rise on knees they knelt 
too cowed to care, they took the belt

Wishing wishing the strengthless dreamed
flashing silver oh the sword it gleamed
pleading potential prayers the lifeless screamed
promising a requiem, or so it seemed
