Within the walls, I could hear
Those hums like they were near;
Hark! How the opulent skies
Fill with colours, cough up lies.
Within silence, I could listen
To dim words I had written;
And your breath by my side,
On a sweet autumn night.
Within the airs, their dramas;
All were stricken dormas,
I would have thee over;
Didst thou know where we were?
Within the wet nightfall;
About yonder blank hall,
I could feel twitching music,
Dancing to the flown week.
Within the burnt candle;
Thou be mine to ******,
To live, to bend to thee
Whilst youth’s last may scare me.
Within t’is solitude, love
Thou be more than enough;
These summers petrify me;
Peel my blood right out of me.
Within t’ese days, darling
Thou be the throne that rings
My mere haven of dreams;
Unlike their harried screams,
Within t’ese colds, my sweet
Shy me to thee, and read
The unsung of our fears;
Our abrupt weak tears.
Within t’is high snowfall;
May we meet, and house all,
May we herd the sublime,
May we slumber in time.
Within the dark, my frost;
Pick merely the black rose,
Lighten my most unsure;
Taint me, but keep me pure.
Within the insane gloss;
I knew my doors had closed,
My lyrics had made so wrong;
My poems, my lines, my songs.
Within the unsaid haze;
Memories in my face,
Their sobbing in such pain
I could not feel the rain.
Within the hoarse terror
Just like the sun before;
Thou come round to my room,
To sit, keep warm my poems.
Within the stiffened chords
Thou be the lyrics for;
Be May’s shard of light;
Make a way for its night.
Within the angered voice
Thou be the modest bliss;
Be such presence so quiet
Be thou the time, the first.
Within the adorned shades
Thou haileth from the West;
Enshrining flesh with mine,
Making true love so kind.
Within the adored love
Thou be given my half;
Thou be the lost way’s back
The first love I shall take.
