THE GREEN WILLOW By: Dyan Ratna Hayuningtyas (Finalis LCP Batch 3)

Table of Contents

 

Amidst this neverending winter,

The glorious realms of mine in shatter,

The flimsy glee hath slivered for thee,

O’ love, you slaughtered all souls in me,

Thy reaped the paint into pieces beneath wintry river,

Thereafter you conquered me to surrender,

I whined and whined within excruciating queer,

I wept and wept, I suffered upon a woe that queer,

From the tense of frozen moon, I remained in silent,

Night by night, I pondered of you that now in Aidenn,

This soul and flesh hath fainted down a dread remorse,

That may corrupt and destroy all blood of me in worse,

O’ dear, I was possessed by the miserable gloom,

That restrained the green willows around to bloom,

After thee, my love and my heart of life, gone forever,

I seized alone this sweet grief of agony upon my shoulder.
