You have surged from my deepest night <br />But it's night that swells your bosom <br />An echo follows the faint light <br />Are you that star that took to flight <br />Or the herdsman who goads it on <br /> <br />The Ports of the Levant of love <br />Are the marks on my roundabout <br />Way to mystery. I must rove <br />Endlessly but I shall disclose <br />The sunny side of the dark route <br /> <br />Unswerving like a torpedo <br />Or a sword pointing to the breast <br />Well you know the straight way to go <br />And you topple in vertigo <br />What lying lips strove to erect <br /> <br />Lost with all arms lost with all hands <br />I sunk in this Sargasso sea <br />And was left fully despondent <br />In long uncalled-for retirement <br />And ever interrupted sleep <br /> <br />My fair angel and conqueress <br />You have pierced my heart with your lance <br />I fell with helmet, and fight dress <br />And on my bare loneliness <br />Opens the thick gate of silence<br /><br />Michel Galiana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-for-a-moray-5-age/
