regretful unto Dominus

Folder: 
Hyacinth garden

 

In my fate I am unthinkably
Preserved on the pedal of a rose


I express sadness, this is where I met the end
I die on the thruway each twilight


Ahead and beyond all oblivion
Affliction upon affliction in dark dominion

 Of eyes closed to blissful life
My hands are the caress of night
Hands forever coal black permanently black
Hell hurled into my soul seized in fright
I rub the rose on my face
Petals forlorn fall over the thruway


With my labor in mire, dust and haze
Traffic in motion, is my knowledge


Since my soul's passion was too young
My extremities are regretful unto Dominus
