Love

"And remember me... Because... I love her..."
                Nightwish

***

"Love is blindness," once a poet said,
Though he'd never seen it being blinded,
Never seen a heart loving till the end,
Thought that heart was never to be found.

Once he met the eyes he fell in love with,
Though he hoped he had no heart to break,
Kissed her lips he thought were worth to die for,
Being just a madman in the end.

"Let me fall into the eyes of silence,
Let me breathe the lush scent of thy hair,
Make me drunk, thine lips of wine, my siren,
For my heart for long has not been fair!"

So he sang this song of love and madness,
Being blinded, craved for touch of hers,
Sought but truth, the taste of her sweet letters,
Found only guilt not to atone.

Hear I pray thee, Lord, I was that poet,
Hope that time is to erase her trace.
Once I shan't recall those fading moments:
Love's a distant melody at best.
