Heart's breaking

Heartless beloved, the evening star
Did fall for thee to make a wish
Under thy eyes grey towers burn
And knights forsake their gallantry…

To hope's end and heart's breaking
Thy cursed beauty lies beyond
Through woven woods in Elvenhome
The murmur of the mourning ghost!

To hope's end and heart's breaking
Another hero's opiate dreams:
I'll see you there if you be true
And say you love me like I do!

Elysian fields the Goddess kissed:
The sacrament, ambrosia,
Thy cruel lips would never yield
For fear of Cupid's archery…

To hope's end and heart's breaking,
Across the desert of thy heart
To stain the velvet sheets of night
The ancient constellations stride!

To hope's end and heart's breaking
The opium house of my dreams:
I'll see you there if you be true
And say you love me like I do!
