                              The blood of an evening star
                                    painted the skies as they fell,
                                   draped across this silent room,
                              heralding perhaps no greater a future
                                 than has passed before thine eyes.

                                 It might been as Artemis slew Orion
                                  to the firmament, forever confined
                                       as that final battle relived
                                  to be fought ten-thousand times
                           as if to measure fate in shades of crimson,
                                      an omen to cold and dying.

                                    So I sat, forsaken, and gazed;
                             For the heavens were spilling sanguine.
                                     Every star sought  such fate,
                                         implacable, adamantine.
                                    The Empyrean marched to War
It's an allegory for something! weeeeeeee!

This is very well written and attention grabbing. I had to read it twice but then again I'm tired right now. Well done. I enjoyed it greatly.
