From whence do you come, <br />Haunter of dreams- <br />Stealer of rest <br />And peace of mind? <br />Deep from within <br />The lost regime, <br />Of hearts obsessed <br />And love unshrined. <br /> <br />Into the midst of them, <br />Quietly stealing- <br />You grave my name <br />On icy slate. <br />Then while my nerves <br />Are slowly chilling, <br />All my reason <br />Intoxicate. <br /> <br />I grasp for hope, <br />But she has gone- <br />The cause is lost <br />The battle’s over. <br />You sit distant <br />On your throne, <br />And no one else <br />Can save me lover.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/regime/
