Aphrodite's Winter

Frozen land mesmerized by her arcane mystery Goddess of the underworld cold queen of lost beauty Gazed upon earth's battleground At mankind's misery With her sadness came love's death As violence slowly seized Her weeping tears of darkness crystallized the earth As warmth turned colder, her grief chilled away all mirth Frosted armies paused in war now wearing beards of snow Perishing forevermore, her bite numbs to the bone Housed in icy caves, men of peace rest in these times of woe Shaking in glass coffins, waiting for the sun to glow She cast her spell on earth and all emotion died Her languid heart dulled the skies with love's demise She crystallized the earth with water from her eyes A frozen sun now hangs above this land's demise.
