Tempus Fugit


Gently tortured, love departs
To fill my life with poison darts
To keep in view the hated truth
That lie of love alone won’t sooth

Enforce a life away from love
And bring me kiss from scarlet dove
In red blood running’s hated cry
The love that now alone won’t lie

In Love I Found a Song to Sing


Lifelong dreaming, bleeding hearts
Softly tortured, love departs
In sight of sound but yet unheard
-Golden-haired my secret lord
With mind controlled by heart so strong
Sing endless longing’s hidden song
