An Abortive Recital
  In a farland I stood there
  Humming my own songs, playing by my own
  Until someone came and whispered back my songs
  Making them complete, articulate and sweet
  I searched for this soul with this baritone voice
  Only to find a man so handsome
  He was God’s spirit everywhere, and was stronger than the ages
  The angels of love floated about, singing the praise of the soul’s deed
  We came close sheltering ourselves from humanity
  As if hiding ourselves within ourselves,
  Him fondling my face gently
  And tears coursing down my cheeks
  “We must now part my beloved
  Love hasn't chosen me her delegate, and cupid doesn't favor me
  But do stay awake in the silence of the night
  Let the clean breeze carry your love and affection
  I shall now separate and  go back to the farland
  Hum my own songs, play by my own”.
  So here I leave a life behind
  Secret angels carry me his complaints
  As the spirits in the air sense the breath of this dying youth.
  Alone I walk again, far beyond this ocean
  And the song in my heart slips into numbness
  Buried in an unmarked grave.
