In Someplace Further On

In someplace further on you seek

A sympathy that will ignite

A rose with its dying.

A dreamer by whose dreams

Love is made cankerous,

You do not accept easily

Its coming and goings.

As in all things one nature dictates

What energy is needed

To thrive, even among starlight,

So in you more intricate seasons

Plough at the blood.

Some knowledge you tried so hard

Through pain to find

One night while you slept,

Undetected, entered.

Becalmed spider, caught up within your own kill

You do not notice how the web

By a bird is shaken.
