Eyes attach to your mute portrait
We spoke only through thoughts
Together we gazed, awaited
Hours brought thirst and the rising sun
 
Sunbirds leave their dark recesses
Shadows gild the archways
 
Do not turn your face towards me
Confronting me with my loneliness
You are in a forest unknown
The secret orchard

And your voice is vast and achromatic
But still so precious 

Lullaby of the crescent moon took you
Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face
Granted you a hollow stare
Another soul within the divine herd
I have kept it
The amaranth symbol
Hidden inside the golden shrine
Until we rejoice in the meadow
Of the end
When we both walk the shadows
It will set ablaze and vanish
Black rose immortal
