Une Belle Adieu

A strange and powerful thing ----
   to not know what shall come,
   where winds shall carry thee,
   and time turns many a calendar,
   withered with wings of days
   some
   light, others
   grey;
A Great Lover too far away....
   (many venus' between)
   to not feel their whisper
Save through the long-line 
   of cold techno-echoes;
A hunger shall not be filled,
   lay me down with the voracious lion ----
   eat my emptiness....
   who can feast long and forever;
    she is gone
