Beat down limerence


Your song caught me in the limestone church.
A hope it was your mirror
Pierced my sleeping scar.
Stuck in weathered tar,
I believed your worn cantor,
False tales of gold barley and birch.

The fountain steps grow cold as I sit
No longer waiting for you.
But still you can haunt
This, my dream crazed taunt
Under your spell, all in lieu
Of my desire in kindled grit.

I danced to the beat of your mirage,
Falling short of your eye line.
Breathing sand gave pause
To your clearing cause.
I rose your fretful, prized swine,
Breaking down your crippling image.

Your voice echoes no more in my breast.
I listen for silent chants.
For only here will my soul find rest,
Snared in the waking.
