And in the mind/desire mire I set fire
To love's buyer and hide in melancholy’s pyre.
Because the flames consume
Love
Lack
Listing in seas with deep depth black
Soul and song sings some sorrow laden lyric
Because when all is gone there's just
me
Echoing from the deep
Unable to beckon eversleep
Unable to summon the courage to face
What waits when warm embraces erase
The space I’ve put between me and the world.
