Phantom Pains
Tuesday, June 2nd, 1998Oh ’tis joyous when others here detract,
Yet in my being lies a mad desire.
There is a maiden that does me attract,
Of sweet things and honey drops sings she on lyre.
She dances for me in the moonlight,
Her feet, so sweet, ne’er do they grace the ground.
Like the flight of doves she glides, quite right.
As she floats she laughs, O what lovely sound.
To me she comes, smiling all the while.
Her touch of soft silk caresses my soul.
She holds my bod, the lonesome pile.
She cares not of things past, she takes me whole.
Then I lean o’er she to touch her gentle face,
Mist and smoke my hand takes hold in her place.
