| How much time must torment touch On turbulent sea in persuasion's clutch Since first besieged in panic's swell To flounder fast in hastened hell
I stop to count the moments lost It plagues me still from dusk to dusk When sense of duty and honor kept Removes from peaceful nighttime slept
When heated breath draws close to me My choices flee and and I am free As passion's lust suspends the dawn This troubled mind she soothes along
But exchange of refused oath's release A promise made to Turia's Hes' I gave my word and keep this day Three months time, and not one more stay
And do neither judge this poet wrong For if either wish his strength along Just know I asked if things could change And before return in hope arrange
A place where open heart can seek A place to live with pride to speak And not confined with term to pay But in one's home with welcomed say | PhylanthropicFlattery "Wingless" | |
