Beautiful Horror: Sebastian by Aline Sánchez Iniestra

Here's an excellent example of what I call beautiful horror by the gifted Aline Sánchez Iniestra:

Sebastian

by Aline S. Iniestra 

 

His eyes shed tears

For his lost little love:

A pretty girl in a white robe;

He’s only ten years old.

 

He stumbles on the snow,

Passes houses by,

Sits under a tree

That shares his loss, and cries.

 

He saw her die;

Snow painted in red,

His soul painted in black …

He cannot understand.

 

Now he has decided

To say nothing more;

He cuddles with the tree

And hopes to meet his love.

 

The night embraces him

And the moon lights up his fading eyes:

“Such little creature

That wish I will grant”

 

So he slept with the tree

And the moon disappeared,

And the sun with his warmth

Could not bring him to life.

 

Now he’s gone to join

His beautiful found love;

Two little children

Kiss somewhere beyond.
