Beneath a Stone

I clawed at the dawn
Beneath a porphyritic slab
My innocence dead and gone

Apparitions of lovers
How fleeting they become
Hiding under darkness cover

To glimpse eyes of aqua
Find a gentle smile
Amongst the vast astral

For affections I seek not more
Who to comprehend my void
Just a pretty face at the door

Lying beneath a porphyritic stone
