I'll find not you
but celestial love in the nowhere
of time--that's all I desire
beyond the self and the carnal,
the lust, the passion and the fire
that all flesh inherits and devours-

I'll be in the monastery, free
without a name nor even a heart
that's earth-bound, a new me
that knows no pain nor struggle,
oblivious to what had happened before, to know love's poison and betrayal no more.

That which but seeks its own gratification will be in captive,
in prison-bound. This is an eternal truth the pure heart will have found.

You and I will dissolve like vapour and not remember each other's name-- in that nowhere of time.
