Her Unlife Begins

[GigglyRedhead]

Her Unlife Begins

Shades of Twilight

Fall all around us,

In endless tendrils

Of black…

Like her silken hair.

She has been a part

Of this world

For time immemorial,

Undying in her beauty:

In Sin.

No one knew

Her name for the

Longest age in our

Meek, slow world

Of Man.

All only heard

Of Her as the

Zombie Queen;

A Lich Lady of

Unholy Power,

Long since asleep.

So listen well,

Listen hard of the

New Bard’s tale about

Melisande,

And her eons worth

Of undying breath.
