Is it but a poet’s folly
When he yearns her melancholy?
Tortured thoughts of untold sorrow,
From her depths he seeks to borrow?
I sit alone in still of night,
And ache the pain of sorrow’s bite,
From out my past I seek her curse,
Haunting grace of throbbing verse.
Echoing not a call to duty,
Just odist tragic, ethereal beauty,
Crushed out from her tortured soul,
Exquisite pain; dark night’s extol,
Why hath thee fled, O’ Muse of mine,
Beyond the winds of vespertine?
Come back to me in night’s descend,
So I might feel of pain's transcend.

Where have thee gone, dark orchid of the night?
Do not thee hear, mine pleas for thy reprise?
To feel again, the joy of pain's delight,
To gaze upon twin bloom of emerald eyes.
Black silken hair, as soft as angel's wing,
Red satin lips, rose chalice of thy wine,
That sates my soul, pain's pleasures that thee bring,
Warm sting of throbbing verse, mine heart entwine.
Beauty of a midnight moon, thy shadowed veil,
Doth not thee hide, but only men entice,
From forth thy cage, sweet notes of nightengale,
Darkness bathed in Luna's light, night's paradise.
I yearn thy kiss, dark orchid of the night,
To feel once more, the pain of sorrow's bite.

What creature this, who pens of sorrow's bite?
In haunting voice of golden nightingale,
O' muse afar, dark orchid of the night,
With thy sorrow, thee doth mine heart impale.
Thine arrow's sting; angel's melancholy,
Thou art night's flame, as thee mesmerize,
With thy searing dirge of life's finale,
In darkest night, illume the blackest skies.
I fear thy touch, for in thy sad refrain,
Thee penetrate, to deep within mine soul,
I fathom not thy lure; exquisite pain,
Why doth thy sorrow's bite to me extol?
Dark night's seraph, lament of thy refrain,
Angelic grace, dark beauty cloaked in pain.

Phew, that blew me away. I mean it is so absolutely, utterly, tragically accurate description of those emotions; I could absolutely feel them.

Refrain again...
your muse is more than pleased,
you have opened her heart
once more.
