'Tis death we fear unto heav'n's step--thyself begging to return, And ne'er shadows become the holy ghost within me Those doves upon the shrine bring the memories to higher grounds-- A thousand times I've prayed to the faithless god I ne'er knew The sacrifice of life for a new birth in the world--the dead reborn. Harbor'd in thine presence from far beyond the grave, Thirsty for thy voice to arch over the pain towards the heart thou rides In lands stain'd with innocence bled too many times before- Ruins cloud the place where once thee smiled--now rested in peace O'er and o'er again I hath crept into the darkness looking for the same. Wilt thou be a vision in the dreams of thoughts before the dawn' a human beat unto the heart like olden times ago the eyes of gentle caressed sea's tamed by the love- Movements in the hair--fingers running through 'tis a moment too much to bare without thee to share it with. One day when my breath becomes no more, o'er on the dragons tail shall I hitch a ride unto heav'n's steps- myself begging to be with the--thyself begging to return and ne'er shadows shall become our wonderings on earth. |
