Said in Love: Forever more

A tribute to E. A. Poe

The morrows will be the full moon, a good omen for that coming day
I pray. For when the fifth morn comes the phantom and wolf undone
Will see each face as first was known but greater than the painted tomes.
Avast the fears that conjure on the nighthood and the fevered tears,
Avast, I know ye well enough to know our love will be enough.
Carved a Haven: Forever more.

Yes distinctly, I will remember for the day has tended to endeavor.
A quandary for the time was ended that I hoped to be amended,
Yet it was that life renewed that burned a fire now imbued
In what a feeling is now stronger than the tempest of the sun,
Amidst a light that burns much brighter than the zenith of the sun.
It lights a truth: Forever more.

And the satin, soft and stately skin I've seen and yearn for deep within
Wrought a thrill that never since before has ever aired and more
The bearer of that satin, soft and stately flesh has given fresh
What I thought could never be, for I never knew of thee
What could only be revealed by only ever meeting thee
That stays alive: Forever more.

Now, my soul that grows much stronger on the winds of winding wonder
Waits as always as I have as nomad, wolf and blackly wander'r.
And the fact is you came rapping, oh, so gently you came tapping,
Oh, so faintly you came tapping, tapping on Hearts chamber door
That I scarce was sure you meant me. Yet I flung open the door--
Stay and love me: Forever more.
