Ghosts of the past sweep the fields
Interludes of frosted breath, like silvery cobwebs suspended in mid-air, dance upon silken breezes
While armies traipse across the meadow bucolic

Impassioned he serenades her, recites romantic verse
Within her eyes, upon her cheeks a sanguine rose pales and withers in an augury of finality

Running his own cold, breathless clouds splatter as he speeds through the open meadow on a stallion equipped for a god
Ride!' the villagers cry
She wails for her warrior
The single flower in a field

The red, velvet petals lay on the table
Once stretching for the sun, now, unable
