Tonight

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.
