          I see no daylight
          in this morning,
          I see no sparkle
          on these stars,
          where thee my poets
          be the abyss
          I used to wander;
          after hours
          my words, my eyes,
          my falls above,
          my rise by tone;
          on weather's light
          my boys of loving
          endless poetry
          why die by eve
          without a fight;

          I'd love my renaissance
          my fooled blossoms,
          my one believer
          of this fate--
          a man undressed
          by all importance;
          be birthed by death
          not by my faith;
          for what I'm loved
          not what I love;
          and what I've lived
          was never life;
          come seek my heart,
          be back this dawn
          where for you're lost,
          but me--your home.
