Seen The Wolf

Whither so late
Oh mayden loth?
Stars do the heavens elate
What flame lures thee, my moth?
Did the deep call..
Call thee soft names?
Behold as shadows fall
Wolves play their games
Night falleth upon her
A silky black pall
Mother did warn her
Trust not the nightfall
Beneath skies lit red
Into the woods she ventured
To the unknown she sped
Fancying wonders, enraptured
Hasten to her fate she doth
Off the path enticed
Frail in her red cloth
Her innocence sacrificed
Ere cometh the morning dew
Her flower shall wither
Elusive shades will shew
His eyes lurking thither
A flower paved path
She walketh towards the fall
Seen the wolf, she hath
Amydst the forest ball
A sidelong glance
Words so sweetly whispered
Lost in their mazy dance
Like burning souls, unhampered
Naiad that foolishly tumblest
Into thy chaser's arms
Once so dignified, thow now drumblest
Enthralled by his charms
As Eos, rosy-fingered
The saffron-robed rose
The presence still lingered
A silence so morose
Her Sister did witness
All proud in her silver
Passion's cruel swiftness
No warning can hinder
The child thus awoke
A child yet no longer
Dreams faded to smoke
Her spirit yet stronger
Beneath skies lit gold
Out of the wood she came
Both broken and bold
No longer the same
A flower paved path
She walketh towards the fall
Seen the wolf, she hath
Amydst the forest ball
A sidelong glance
Words so sweetly whispered
Lost in their mazy dance
Like burning souls, unhampered
