As The Shadows Dance |
| My eyes hold the eventide, -- albeit behind the eyes thou hast |
| Thro' which I 'hold naught else -- a flame enshroud’d in its blackness; |
| But the raven; |
| -- burning without the faintest breeze |
| Sleep my dearest ones — -- teach me, dearest, the reason wherefore |
| Mind not the palling velvet darkness -- thou by such angst mark’d art?! |
| Wherefore is here loneliness?; |
| Infinite hollowness |
| In which my thoughts echo |
| To the shadows i whisper — |
| With the shadows i waltz — |
| Bear me; |
| i am not the plague |
| Altho' nightclad death … mayhap?! |
| Dare not naysaying my grant; |
| -- dance no longer with the shadows |
| Vanish with me abaft the unlight! |
| — -- dance no longer with the dead in the |
| graveyard; |
| O! |
| the taste on thine lips; |
| -- dance with me the mephisto waltz |
| A trickling deep red love — -- wedlock 'twixt day and night — |
| Everlasting lightheart’dness — -- offer me relief fro the sunrays |
| A kiss for thee my dear |
| Ah! |
| such delight i sense: -- eternally and ne’erendingly; |
| Savour the bitter grapes of life! |
| -- a soulsister of thine i am |
| -- let me openly greet thy kiss; |
| -- the most loving and caring bites |
| Grant me thineself! |
| I bore the woe in my heart |
| My heart was shatter’d into its tithe, -- as i depart embrace me |
| Save yet are its chambers in flood. |
| -- and in paltry time will i re-awake — |
| -- i love thee |
