I write my poems in ungodly hours,
when Midnight spreads her raven's wings.
I seek my love at the edge of a dream,
and watch her bathe in the tides of Lethe.
I look at her face in the Poppy flower juice,
and volcanic glass, in her long lashed gaze.

I walk in the orchard when stars are pale,
and the anaemic moon sheds her veil.
Spectre -white crowns of midnight Poppies,
sway to the lullaby of a hypnotic breeze.
I breathe in the scent of Lethe's rare biss,
Out I blow, my sighs through a pipe.

I await my dame by the banks of Lethe,
like a shadow, I follow, dimmed by her light.
A darkling smile, when an Ash stake rips,
through her hollow heart, her timeless charm.
Like a Poppy flower, the wooden stake reddens,
Pulling me back, from Lethe's embrace.

I write my poems, drowning in Lethe,
to remember the way to forget her eyes.
