From Chaos & Void

10 September 2007
Leeds, England

It scarcely seems possible,
That ten months have elapsed,
¿Where went the days and hours,
That once so slowly spent?
¿Was it in smiles and laughter,
Or, — Furtive eye glances?

No, — That was not all of it,
There was illness and sadness,

Enough to form days and nights,
But never violent storms,
That could uproot love tender,
So carefully tended,
Or heart’s sure course intended,
Thou, — my only temptress.
