short love poem

i made a vow once, one only
why do you always stand there shivering
with lips blood red and heart of stone
i make my shroud, but no one knows
leave the lovely words unsaid
a bird sang
a pen of steel
i love the old melodious lays
darkest, strangest mystery
in an old chamber softly lit
sad are they who know not love
the saddest of the year
once this soft turf
i can not tell you now
