Listen to poem:
Deprived of hue by fog and silent death,
I long, I strive to hear your stifled call
beyond – cross scape – the cold of frozen breath
beyond our reach, beyond our mortal wall.
I can't forsake your life without regret.
The essence of a love that couldn’t die
might steer me wrong and rocky, lost, and yet
I can’t believe the stars would tell a lie.
Subdued, suppressed and muted, oh so faint,
I hear the fading whisper of your pleas.
Beneath a ghostly rainbow’s pallid paint,
I set my course, moon north, on troubled seas.
For you, my love, I’ll roam this earth below
for echoes of your love that haunt me so.
