Lest Love Be Lost

When you came to my window the moon was away the map was in your eyes orange blossoms, planets divide, old mistakes contained, our world within of nutmeg,and chocolate, persimmons and silver liquer shaken out loud. So hide your broken summer, let the lover's moon alight Fly that mystic dream to me I wait here on this foreign shore nameless and alone See the palm trees whispering they confide the secret way to home Look not into the night owl's eyes lest the season turn and all that's love be lost.
