A decade
of sorrow wine and song
A failing
of life, of love, of hope
To hear from afar
of new loves
new worlds
new lives
destroyed me
A decade
of beatings and joy murdered
A failing
to quell this ache of mine
When you were wed
the ferryman
took sail
cross the Styx
and wept
A decade
must end like any other
A failing
falling dying heart
To be removed
from your gaze
my sweet
est
visu
Dei
amoveri
.
My immense gratitude to Mark McCahill for helping me with the Latin lines.
