Mesmerized

You, who like the moon at night
haunted my mortal heart ...
You who made this ancient walls
shine like divine marble
The unwanted breath - through creedence
a derelict shell in the desert
- mesmerised -
as love inflamed the night
burning tongues brought the rain
the sand remained - purified
Murmur at the meager's spear
battered carthagian pride
the beloved cry - wasted dismay
invasion of baseness and shade
You, loved by your father
innocent as a vestal - dove
Buried in a deep blue sea
as we all lose - ever
