[decayingwood]

Insatiable you, how you compel

The winds to blow and the sun to sink

Below its divide, to dwell

In the comfort of night. Oh, to drink

The waters of the endless rivers

In your heart, pure and serene despite

The torture of life that delivers

Pain without warning; I praise your might.

How be it so that your touch sears

My skin, with the mark of you, burning

The fabric of my soul, and thus clears

The fog inside; my mind is yearning.

My love, my insatiable you,

If you willed mountains to move, they would.

There is no such thing I wouldn’t do

To keep your spirit pure and heart good.

[decayingwood]

My head, my soul, how you have failed

To protect my poor heart and guard

From the tender pleasure that veiled

The aching scorch which slowly marred

My palms, so now all that I touch

Is stained by my shameful defeat,

And my lips, for a kiss brings such

Torment, the ghost of love too sweet

A memory and fateful foe,

That of which I cannot erase

From my weary mind, endless woe

Spinning inside a hollow case.

What I though was innocent love

Is now a void, my heart is bound.

I ask, when will the time of

Painless and peaceful love be found?
