the king

night swoons
again
without you
no crowded light will reveal
your presence tonight
alone
I must seek you
in each passing face

once your distance
gored my breast
but now I tire
endless betrayal
selfish sorrow

did I ever love you?
was I loved by you?
love?
all I know are my hands
and my weeping heart

 empty soul   when i am an angel   Awake. Arise. The morning comes.   so we meet again   joyeux anniversaire   earthly flesh   angels descended silently   my arms await you openly   go wash thyself thrice   This morning darkness rose again   love   lest we be saved   at least   the tree of life   my love for you   This icy rain awakes me   And at last.   And they smiled down upon her
