Oh, where, oh where, Love art thee now?
Beyond dark mirrored realm of night?
Thou promised me thy love was true
Across, storm’s plains... to me wouldst ride
Gallant knight ‘pon trusty steed
Wilt thou bear lightning’s wrath ... for me?
Yet Father Time hath other plans
He cares not... that I beseech him
Fair son of moon and lunar climes
With lupine charm and stardust eyes
Oh how I wish thy gaze to hold
My hand in thine neath cloudless skies
Thy raven locks, so wild and free
My fingers wish, to run through thee
To welcome thee, to rest thy head
‘pon butterfly, winged beat... silk breast
For where I breathe... thy solace make
Never again... need feel alone!
Alas my Love, tis but a dream
Betwixt our hearts... stands Time’s cruel screen
I try, hear voice in echoes wake
I shan’t thee Love... thy heart forsake
Break through gilt sky-glass... sever wrists
Rose-petalled drops... I’ll gift thee, Love
My peace for thine... I’ll sacrifice
For thee my love I’d gladly die
Time... stares at me “I'll lift thy curse
He's twelve short hours ‘till day unfurls
Moonflowers smile... you’ll cease to be!”
“Dear child of sun and golden hair
If thou pledge life... pray he make haste?”
“I shall... I’ll sign my name in blood!”
Brave moon knight, please keep safe, my Love
I'll guide thee home... to me through dreams
Ethereal sunburst… ‘pon night’s breeze
