Tonight - Ecnephias

Deep in my soul in every silent corner

I feel so cold empty as I am

I can betray my poison kills

proud to be a different thing

I lie to explore from the abyss

can I scream my pain?

As night hath stars

more rare than ships in ocean

faint from pole to pole

so all the wonder of her lips

hints her unnavigable soul

Such lights she gives as guide my bark

but I am swallowed in the swell

of her heart’s ocean sagely dark

that holds my heaven and holds my hell

Face to face you and me tonight

the prophecy of the second sight

now I know the way

and fall again

In her I live a mote minute

dancing a moment in the sun

in her I die a sterile shoot

of nightshade in oblivion

In her my self dissolves a grain

of salt cast carelessly in the sea

my passion purifies my pain

to peace past personality.
