Poetry
Lily
By eiresol
13 March 2006
Yes, I know it's abstractEmbarassed It was this or some really, depressing whining from my I'm a drunk stage. Have I mentioned, I've got writer's block. I've not written anything but emails in 3 years. I've developed a case of happiness and it's totally killed the poet in me.  Maybe it will help with the novel?

Anyway, this is an older piece, 2001. It's my soul sister's favorite, so I thought what the heck?  The title, has nothing do with the poem, other than Lily is the character from the movie Legend.  Her touch is what brought the Unicorns to their doomed fate...

the unicorns are screaming
screaming in death
death that came riding
riding waves of black thunder
thunder of my tears
tears shed for innocence lost
lost love and lost belief
belief in love is blind
blind truth of eternity
eternity i am no more
more thunder and more tears
tears keep falling
falling to my knees praying
praying to unseen Gods
Gods who are pious and mirthless
mirthless from endless hours
hours of unicorns screaming
screaming in death
death that I am causing
