darkness

the flame
rises,
I desire

For Manic Monday’s Three-Way Prompt: Word: Dirge, Photo above, and the Song: Aniron by Enya. As I do every week, the poem inspired by these three are a Black Out poem taken from the translated lyrics of the song below:

O môr henion i dhû: Ely siriar, êl síla Ai! Aníron Undómiel	From darkness I understand the night: dreams flow, a star shines Ah! I desire Evenstar
Tiriel arad ‘ala môr minnon i dhû-sad oltha Ai! Aníron Edhelharn.	Having watched the day grow dark I go into the night – a place to dream Ah! I desire Elfstone.
Alae! Ir êl od elín! I ‘lir uin el luitha guren. Ai! Aníron Undómiel.	Behold! The star of stars! The song of the star enchants my heart. Ah! I desire Evenstar
I lacha en naur e-chun Síla, éria, brónia. Ai! Aníron Edhelharn.	The flame of the fire of the heart shines, rises, endures. Ah! I desire Elfstone
