Beauty is the enigma -
That gaily flutters by -
On bonny stained glass wing -
Past discriminating eye -
Come slowly hither butterfly-
And sit upon my palm -
Masterpiece of nature -
Enamoured of thy charm -
Wings like stained glass panels -
Colour vivid and supreme -
Uniquely painted, sweetly tainted -
With pallet got from dream -
Oh if I could dwell like you -
Calm in chrysalis -
I'd take nascent flight upon my wings -
And dance in earthen bliss -

Bethrothed? For whom am I bethrothed?
Not King, for vainglory,
That wanton sin, consists within,
Leviathan not fact but story -

To man? '''Tis not an oddity -
To be borne aloft on passions hearse -
They say it most of Fame but I -
Think Love for man is bigger curse -

To woman? Is she there?
Compassion incarnate,
With her inexhaustible Love,
We will skip insatiate.

Tomorrow - packed up - going -
Never turning back -
And I - with sad skip - bereft of happiness -
Sing lovelorn - alack-
Because my voyage destiny -
However ludicrous it seem -
I incite my spiritual mutiny -
To dwell deep in diamond dream -
Magnificent that two hearts lived -
Each other to humorously hack -
To love is human - so we give -
Our perfect care when hearts turn from gold to black -
Fraternity - condominium -
Synchronicity of Love -
That heart, which were compassion -
Itself acknowledged pain on which I rove -
That Destiny which angels weave -
In which I dared to believe -
Send blessings I wear upon my sleeve -
Hell suffocated - in heaven I breathe -
That Past which bleeds of colour -
Is not enamoured of the day -
Thirteen was the hour -
An unenchanted way -
Of union who forfends -
Will never discern truths -
Towards which I sublime wend -
With beauty rare forsooth -

A coy allusion catches me -
With imagination pure -
A dream of heaven snatches me -
An angel at my door -
Doth penetrate the problem -
And to my heart communicate -
Ferries me away from Salem -
For Love insatiate -
Plants flowers in my head -
From whence the passion bled -
Going softly, ever soft with gentle tread -
Alive again after dying long ago in my head -

I wish I had a Peace in which to hide -
Like you - to whom my truest words abide -
I'm at your side, Love, I'm at your side -
Forced by rejections of my entreaty to in you confide -
No excuse for devils cheer and chide -
Nor his darkling, evil tide -
Be the Love that imagines wide -
And be at my side, Love, be at my side -

All gratitude for the hurried help -
Of the diligent and discerning ones -
Who hear the deep and distressed yelp -
For having seen the riders over apocalyptic sun -
I don't know how to quick reverse -
The rancid mess of all of it -
The memory of peace upon a hearse -
For being tortured for truth of evil writ -
Across my mind by much lesser man -
Who think dignity is to himself belong -
Destined to be quashed by Pan -
In lifes redemption song -
