A dark folk/neofolk, neo-medieval composition with a bardic, plaintive male voice. Based on my homonymous poem.
I Think of You
When thinking eerily autumns into a fallen leaf —
I think of you;
When the lightning fades off by the threshold of heaven —
I think of you;
When the voice breaks as crystal and your name is not hallowed —
I think of you;
Before my daily bread and when the wine is blooded —
I think of you;
Drowned in the crops of angels
when the hands touch the stream and the curves and the lions —
I think of you;
Wounded by Brutus’ ire and the fleur of your Canto —
I think of you;
In the knife and the cry, wearing a sordid crown —
I think of you;
In the cursed tree of Mondays
as crow devours the mornings —
I think of you;
When my eyes pierce the darkness and I plunge from exhaustion,
and all the stars descend
to my night with devotion
to steal the light you left
when you traversed my dungeon—
I think of you;
When memory is delirium,
your hair mer de delphiniums,
—in your breast sings a dead pigeon! —
when on my lips your winter,
and the rain is derision
that deceives as a trickster,
as Veronica’s veil mirroring your oblivion… —
I think of you.
