Limping Love

The Moon, a heavenly temptress high,
A limping love, a night's mirage.
Just give me hope, a fading light,
To dream of love in almond eyes.

Oh, limping love, a weary pace,
Through shadows deep, a tear-streaked face,
A broken stride, a soul that cries,
My limping love beneath the skies.

Let drunken autumn leaves descend,
And from the chill our spirits mend.
Let autumn cast its stars in puddles deep,
And velvet darkness over heavens creep.

Let endless morning bring the sight
Of love's dull icon, fading light.
Let fire burn, though words are lost,
The painful echoes, deeply crossed.

Let passion flow, a boundless stream
Of wandering days, a shameless dream.
Give me love, let thirst consume
A naked garden, lost in gloom.

Our ark of pain, by discord torn,
A cold sunset, in blood reborn.
And, drowning evening in desire,
I strip the night with passion's fire.

Oh, limping love, a weary pace,
Through shadows deep, a tear-streaked face,
A broken stride, a soul that cries,
My limping love beneath the skies.

The Moon, through windows, seeps inside,
Demands again with restless tide.
Love whispers low, and eyes ignite
A helpless soul in fading light.

The heart grows weary, pumping slow,
A crescent arch, a silent show.
Her Asian grace, a hidden art,
Unveiling feelings torn apart.

And track by track, in shadowed haze,
A limping love's parade of days,
The morning finds a glass of wine,
A wilting rose, a fading sign.

Yes, I forgive, yet cannot mend
Whose love it was, or how it came to end.
Just walk away, don't try to hold
My spirit captive, brave and cold.

I sought this path, love left its sting,
A handkerchief for memory's wing.
My verses dry, from pain laid bare,
A stone-cold flower without a prayer.

Love's chapped lips whisper, almost dead,
Of fiery dreams forever fled.
Alas, my innocent love has waned,
A bitter truth, completely pained.

You were nirvana, beautiful and cruel,
A stranger's fire, a burning fuel.
Don't touch my soul, it still can beat,
Don't wound my heart, I'm on my feet.

My secret vow I will not break,
Though words and tears, for sorrow's sake.
Just give me truth, don't play the fool,
Don't tell me I'm blind, don't break the rule.

Don't mock my pain with a tearful smile,
My immortal sins are here a while.
Don't torture me with secrets of the night,
Don't hide the shadows, dark and tight.

And don't push me to the very edge,
Admit your hurtful, bitter pledge.
Don't measure feelings by length or span,
Forget revenge, don't cast your ban.

I'm not prepared for love's faint stroke,
Don't touch my soul's aura, don't provoke.
