You, who like the moon at night Haunted my mortal heart ... You who made this ancient walls Shine like divine marble The unwanted breath - through creedence A derelict shell in the desert - Mesmerised - As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained - purified Murmur at the meager's spear Battered Carthagian pride The beloved cry - wasted dismay Invasion of baseness and shade You, loved by your father Innocent as a vestal - dove Buried in a deep blue sea As we all lose - ever
