The Blue Rose
F: Blessed blue, the ocean's timbre,
over me a welcome shroud.
I could hide beneath this surface,
only if my heart allowed.
T: Blessed blue, the hue of sorrow,
loneliness must go unsaid.
If my heart can not be sated,
better you should find me dead.
F: Blessed blue, a word, an image,
pure azure I slumber on.
T: Sweet Fyanthis where do you linger?
Here am I awaiting word.
The garden empty, where is my partner?
Alive or dead, no news I've heard.
Shall I find you resting silent
in our Mother Maya's care?
Have you met with dire misfortune
at Nissandar's hand, my dear?
F: Sweet Takliea pray me strength!
My wounds are true and deep.
Even now my breath comes ragged
as I fight the urge to sleep.
Our love, in secret, stoked the ire
of King Nissandar, how he raged!
Now the heart within my broken
body flaps against its cage.
B: Blessed blue, the ocean's timbre
veiling sun and moon alike.
F: Will my letter ever reach
my love, or shall I die alone?
T: Will I ever hear his voice
proclaim I am the only one?
F: Blessed rose with silken petals,
blue as I am, lost, forlorn.
T: Blessed flower of lovely aspect,
soft but for a single thorn.
Blessed blue, the ocean's timbre,
over me a welcome shroud.
I could hide beneath this surface,
only if my heart allowed.
F: Blessed blue, the hue of sorrow,
loneliness must go unsaid.
If my heart can not be sated,
better you should find me dead.
B: Blessed blue, a rose, a memory,
pure azure I dream of you.
T: All my life...
F: At my death...
B: I dream of you.
Penned by my hand on the 16th of Valnuary, in the year 415 AF.
