The airs of her sighs transcend me to lofty spheres <br />Through its dark shadow mine pallid face distinguish <br />Love its mystery painted on my heart's sears <br />In pain, of love, I fade slowly extinguish <br />Into sorrowful, murky, gloomy tears <br />Lost in darkness of dark's sooth <br />I say to thee if thou love like me, this is thy destiny…<br /><br />Kevin Michael Murphy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dark-sooth/
