A classic. Inspiration taken from sinbad, Persian wars, etc. |
...Ah? the goddess of the sea Who shall I sink to with? For a breath had me kissed as mad as I am for she And bowls all the vowels on her floor Spurt by blood and restless howls Yet none of these humors Shall draw a jeopardy smile Nor an innocence of her name Oceania, my loveless Such a lover with the sad eyes Waves are shattered from pieces Of red risen ink and ill seeding wails Oh, so the sky wears down on Earth's most glorious face...! And leaves the moon abandoned above all unnamed hopes And mourned in my reach! In a reflecting mirror! These are what battles have made carved as lust for the lonely hearts For the young men who marched recklessly unto their deaths Bit by bit, each was raped by the vines Yes, each was raped by the vines All the confined prayers worn off in every trance Surely Nature has long forbid this mortal dances For no time will shout in June And new flowers may come too soon... Blame not the birds and so the winds If they may not speak to us anymore They may not speak to us anymore Has God wept on us? ... I believe He has. * * * Once the night was as beauty-lived bliss It is a time when the stars were bright And the skinny moon rides a rainbow in the sand It is when the wind still comforts the ones... As when the sea fades into an ocean As when our heart leans back and flee To the night, that once… was a beauty for free |
