And if I'd the spell to claim your existence

Your clandestine thoughts; your soul's soft persistence

I'd follow the mirror aglow with your image

Your water-grave eyes, and your lingering fragrance



But unknown by you; lost in the shadows

I fade and remain

Love incarnate; mere irreligion

I fade and remain



My kind can dwell with infinite patience

My reverie thoughts can travel great distance

Yet deign I embrace you, with meek adoration

Your fragile humanity rised with contrition



Love incarnate; lost in perfection

You fade and remain

Youthful; timeless; deification

You fade and remain
