Come!!.. Feast your eyes,
at this flowing blackness.
Your ladies at the window
bear no false witness.
Like dark paint,
spilled over the white,
I was lost, I was sinking
in the oceans of night.
My eager heart longed
for your silver touch.
My beaming warmth flickered,
oh! this night of cold rush.
Shrivelled up in my bed,
without a voice, without a clue.
The mocking lengths
of a night without you.
