CRYSTAL SHARDS OF SHATTERED DREAMS,
BY
TONY BROOKS
PENDLE HILL
FEAR THEE WELL THE GHOSTLY CHILL,
BY
TONY BROOKS
CHILDRENS DREAMS
THE HARP IT PLAYED A MERRY TUNE,
THIS CASTLE BARE IT HAUNTS ME,
I KNOW NOT WHERE SHE CAME FROM,
BY DAY SHE SLEEPS IN DARKNESS,
SHE OFFERS ME ETERNITY,
HER SKIN IS LIKE PALE MOONLIGHT,
SHE LEADS ME UNTO SHADOW,
MY FREEWILL IT ESCAPES ME,
I HAVE TASTED OF HER LIFESBLOOD,
BY
TONY BROOKS
LIKE GRAINS OF SAND
LIKE ICICLES IN THE SNOW,
CONFFETTI DRIFTING IN THE BREEZE,
THAT HIDE IN DEEP SHADOW,
DROWNING IN FRAGRANT TEARS,
AS LEAVES OF AUTUMN GOLD,
SOLITAIRE FOR BROKEN HEARTS,
THAT SHIVER IN THE COLD,
GRAINS OF SAND IN AN HOUR GLASS,
CASCADE UPON THE EARTH,
REMINISCING ALL THE SUFFERING,
OF LIFE BEYOND YOUR BIRTH,
SAFRON CLOUDS LIKE CANDY FLOSS,
HIDE IMAGES IN THE SKY,
ANGELS ARE JUST PASSING THROUGH,
THE NEEDLE IN ONES EYE,
WINTER STRIVES TO TAKE CONTROL,
AND CHILL YOU TO THE CORE,
WHEN WILL LOVE BE LASTING,
NO MORE SAYS THE WIND, NO MORE
BEYOND THE MISTS OF PENDLE HILL,
WHERE NOUGHT IS AS IT FIRST APPEARS,
AND RIVERS RUN WITH SALTY TEARS,
TIS IN THIS PLACE THAT EVILS DWELL,
WELCOME STRANGER, STRAIGHT TO HELL,
NO WINDING LANE, NO COUNTRY ROAD,
FOR WITCHES LIVE AT THIS ABODE,
HARKEN NOW UPON MY TALE,
AND HEED THE WARNINGS I UNVEIL,
TWAS THE TIME OF SABBATS NIGHT,
AIR WAS CHILL AND MOON WAS BRIGHT,
I THEN DECIDED TO TAKE A STROLL,
YONDER HILLTOP WAS MY GOAL,
ALL WAS STILL AND NOTHING STIRRED,
WHEN FROM THE HILLTOP CHANTS I HEARD,
EERIE LIGHTS IN SHADOWS GLOOM,
IN THE GRAVEYARD, BY THE TOMB,
OF MY WIFE SO LONG DEPARTED,
LEFT ME HERE SO BROKEN HEARTED,
I HURRIED TO THE RUSTY GATE,
FEARING NOT MY DREADED FATE,
THERE THEY DANCED IN NAKED LUST,
UPON THE BONES NOW TURNED TO DUST
BLOOD RAN COLD WITHIN MY BRAIN,
MY HEART CLENCHED IN FISTED PAIN,
WITCHES THEY WERE EVERYWHERE,
I THINK I NEVER STOOD A PRAYER,
FLASH OF MOONLIGHT ON COLD STEEL,
THESE EVENT SEEMED SO UNREAL,
BUT FOR THE BLADE WITHIN MY CHEST,
STILL THE BEATING IN MY BREAST,
HEED ME NOW THIS DEVILS GATE,
CURSED PLACE THAT SEALED MY FATE,
HERE IT ENDS I LOST MY LIFE,
NOW I LAY BESIDE MY WIFE,
WHEN MIST FALLS ON HALLOWS NIGHT,
I RISE AGAIN TO FIGHT THE FIGHT,
SO IT IS AND WILL EVER BE,
THERE IS NEVER ANY REST FOR ME,
DARE YEA WALK IN WINTERS CHILL,
VENTURE NOT ON PENDLE HILL,
WHILE WITCHES DANCED AROUND THE MOON,
AND ELVES AND GNOMES CAME OUT TO PLAY,
TO CAST THE WINTRY SPELL AWAY,
A FIRE WAS RAGING IN THE NIGHT,
IT WAS SUCH A WONDROUS SIGHT,
PIXIES FOUGHT FOR FAIRY GOLD,
AS DRAGONS SHELTERED FROM THE COLD,
ANGELS FLUTTERED IN THE BREEZE,
MOONBEAMS SHIMMERED THROUGH THE TREES,
MERLIN WAVED HIS MAGIC WAND,
EXCALIBUR ROSE FROM OUT THE POND,
UNICORNS PRANCED WITH PRIDE,
WITH SHINY HORNS SO DIGNIFIED,
AND ALL IN ALL YOU CANT SURPASS,
THE MAGIC OF THE LOOKING GLASS,
WHERE NOTHING IS JUST WHAT IT SEEMS,
THROUGH THE EYES OF CHILDRENS DREAMS.

I WISH IT WAS NOT SO,
MY HEART HAS BEEN ENCHANTED,
FROM WHAT I DO NOT KNOW,
PERVADING UNTO MY SLEEP,
DEAREST I ASK YOUR FAITH
,
TO PRAY MY SOUL TO KEEP,
AND WHERE ERE SHE MAY GO,
BUT SHE ENTICES SO SWEETLY,
WHITH GIFTS SHE DOTH BESTOW,
IN COFFIN LINED WITH LACE,
I YEARN FOR COMMING NIGHTFALL,
TO SEE THE LOVE UPON HER FACE,
TO LIVE FOREVER BY HER SIDE,
MY RESISTANCE IT WANES MY LOVE,
I MUST HAVE HER FOR MY BRIDE,
HER LIPS LIKE BLOSSOM RED,
I CANNOT FORAKE THIS FEELING,
HER BEAUTY WITHIN MY HEAD,
WITH FINGERS ICY COLD,
TO LIVE WITHIN HER DARKNESS,
WHERE SUNLIGHT HAS NO HOLD,
WITHIN EACH PASSING DAY,
I FEEL FOR MY VERY SANITY,
AND HAVE LOST THE WILL TO PRAY,
IT WAS AKIN TO SUMMER WINE,
NOW WE ARE AS ONE MY LOVE,
MYSELF AND RENARDINE.
