Fission
You were gone before we drift away
Desire calls still strong
Badgered you before the bleak of day
You could'nt love me long
O study the moorings in the bay
A wind barely strong
Inch by inch their tides ebbing away
Small waves play a sad song
Now the mighty tides with blasting spray
'Gainst the heart's rock breaks
The true lover's bereft, far away,
Only stands and shake
I believed you more than Jacob's dreams
Of ladders that throngs
With angels merging in their bright streams
Joy of all my songs
You were gone before you slipped away
Love with love alone can stay.
