silently whispered into the dark
where none my mortal fears listen
love, love, love
a prayer a curse a taboo
not for the feeble hearts
of nameless creatures
too strong for the shadows
to devour as they do all else
love, love, love
still, whispered, unheard
even the moon's glow
cannot touch, cannot shine light
and by sunrise the word
dissipates into mere sound
no reverence, no plea,
love, love, love
the gods don't hear
and the gods don't care
and the frail human heart
breaks upon shores
of silent begging and
unmade wishes
*.love, love, love.
