For My Lover's Fate

For my Lover's Fate I stand aloof

Covered by a thickened veil

For I darn't let such a fiery truth

Reek anarchy over whom I hail

Perhaps from within this guarded state

All romance tucked in sentiment

-which in itself is tucked away

Can I protect a heart so fickle

A heart which beats so far from mine

Despite our bodies intertwined

I know for whom your heart dost beat

Yet she sought out betrayal

I know your fears and vital woes

But knowledge is no currency

In the economy of Love

To disappear from custom haunts

Remove me from distracted thought?

Yet aback I stand, for moral sake

Forbade myself from sole mistake

Which only lead to empty promise

-sealed with a lover's kiss untrue

Yet as I kiss each eyelid

To each tender cheek, to lips

I mean each one a thousand times

And forever I would kiss

A whole horizon for just one lonely ship

It's sails fly proud in a sea so vast

It travels, yet not from sight

Nor, alas, in touch.

In lack of choice resentment rears

My lonely ship sails on at risk

But in my limitation rides

No greater sign of fear.

For my love conceals the riggins

The decks, the crow's nest, the crew!

But my heart out on horizon's belt

Mysterious seas afont

I cannot find mistake in risk

Or in your knowledge wait

So for my Lover's Fate

I remain aloof

As love does not equate to trust.
