Despair The First

Wish I die in a rainy night
On wet land void of light
Or weeping the earthy visions
And the blindness of my sight

Wish I die there beside
The white darling of eyes allied
To colors soaped in waves
And sadness foamed in tide

Long I to slip and ooze
To bleed and die in a snooze
Sleepless not, breathing not
Just dying for no cause

Long I for heavens dark
For dim trees and parched parks
Stared not, sighted not
Just bowing out of arcs

Long I for music scared
Or tearful melodies of songs unheard
Tuned not, played not
Unsung in wind by every bird

Long I for things undreamt
For unfound flowers and lands unmeant
Planted not, visited not
For love ungone and hate unsent
