Mouth on Fire |
And there, the bones do sleep |
And there the soul is soul |
And there the gods do weep |
When the angels fall |
But there the thoughts won’t keep |
And here the blood runs cold |
And here the grave is deep |
And the devil calls |
Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire |
Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower |
Where the jeweled stream? |
Where the eased desire? |
In some fool’s dream? |
In the ending hour? |
Brought my voice, just noise to poor old Silence |
A clanging toy, a clanging toy |
Empty, strident |
Brought my eyes, in utter ruin, sightless |
The tears I cried, the tears I cried |
Still so frightened |
Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire |
Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower |
Where the jeweled stream? |
Where the eased desire? |
In some fool’s dream? |
In the ending hour? |
Where the silver streets? |
Where the blossoming? |
Where osunds so sweet? |
Where songs of spring? |
Where words for things? |
Where golden memories? |
Where quiet seas? |
Where certainty? |
Where all might cease, the talk, the want, the posturing? |
Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire |
Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower |
Where the jeweled stream? |
Where the eased desire? |
In some fool’s dream? |
In the ending hour? |
Where poetry? |
Where mystic harmonies? |
Where love that frees? |
Where security? |
Where sympathy? |
Where tranquility? |
Where rest in peace? |
In the dream? |
Or in the fire? |
Mouth on fire |
Mouth on fire |
