Oh hush my threadbare heart, don't cry
Moon’s frankincense soothes twilight skies
I know not whence, or where, or why
Stars court... malefic, incubus sighs
Yet in sheer lapse of lumined gaze
I puzzle through thine umbra shades
Seek dissident... enkindled blaze
Cease sindark’s voidward, wanton ways
Extinguish... cantrip’s darkling deeds
As on my flesh and mind thou feeds
Relinquish... acquiescent needs
Within my blood thine ash still bleeds
Oh Seraphim... knowest I have tried
To rid taint’s shadow from mine eyes
Fury maketh... silhouette’s disguise
Thy crestfallen heart bade my demise
Beneath my skin... thou will not rest
Thou art entombed within love’s breast
Excoriates... stalls ‘beat and breath
Fear thou shan’t leave me... ‘til I‘m dead!
