          Still sees no constellation;
          upon my sightless universe
          of details plotting my desire
          for years of longing thirst;
          mainly from reasons' poetry,
          revolving 'round my blood
          of homage bonds from self-reproach
          for failing hurts to clot;

          took bleak advantage
          of timing pace
          and burning drive
          yet wilts in haste;
          for keenly needed
          my stars in images,
          within my hopeless milky way
          to bleed no bandages;

          'till noticed and allured I may
          my great beliefs to worship now,
          these merely signs believed--existent
          without their doubtful "how";
          what's yearning upon though
          for bright success, constructing
          my dearly worked for constellation,
          my sightful sun's combusting;

          though truth--I may believe,
          never their mastery
          despite too, I concede
          addressed into their mysteries
          give gambles to forgive,
          give gambles to relive,
          maybe but twisted chances though
          give gambled stars to live.
