lake of forgotten sighs

its spine jagged and broken
lost in a lake of forgotten sighs
sits an isle lush and living
under a bare and lifeless sky
spared the death of winter
by a heart slow beat away
with veins of molten lava
spring holds winter at bay
off in its wilderness
lies a lone and lovely house
with birds of rainbow hues
singing tunes so sprightly false
fawns of whitest fur
ambling all in playful games
one could never suspect or know
the centuries its been the same
with this eternal spring
summer never to come, wane
fall never to change the leaves
winter will forever be its bane
an of the one who lives here
she who will not change
many times the twenty
she appears at closest range
as her memories dim to nothing
hurt over years can fade
only her love everlasting
for this lost and forgotten glade
