A Mortal Love I seek, I am not stone Goddess's of past standing cold; Rome's current shore- shown godless? I have flesh, and still it clings to supple bone, veined marrow Comfort, none in promise of a heaven that still thirsts for my mortal soul, ... remorse held, holding infinite death, that love would pass from my partaking; and not (... a martyr's fate - I refuse it's claim nor seek it's place on a said judgement day)  For without it, Love...I am but formless discontent, unforgivable by any winged angel or ether, by any artisan's muse, lent full Tell what earthen grave would embrace  mortality's warmth/ expose an ashen soul to life? ...Love Mortal  itself is lone witness to all posed as vital, human and willed perfectly finite.... as moon fulled to new matched only by counted nights; Mortal?....I will bear it in joy  -  Love, as word,or turn of tarot, of fates consecrating it - immutable consecrating it - truth immortal...this Love ... Mortal...

Love Mortal
A Mortal Love I seek, I am not stone Goddess's of past standing cold; Rome's current shore- shown godless?
