In his lofty tower, br my body religuished, br An energy broken, br fighting to the last ounce br of my resistance. br How can this be? br Days of yore, I've fallen br and hit the ground. br Benumbed; I can't have this feeling br An ominous cloud, a blur br vanishing in the boundless expanse. br br From the onset of fall, br deluge of verses br muffled me with your warmth br I dream again; an ethereal beauty, br within my grasp it seems, only br A mid-winter wind has awaken me br And truth lacerates my very core; br you can never be mine br oh dream! devour me again br this time, to eternity...
