NOW NO MORE I LOVE

Now no more I  love

your face my dear Love

without light of reflection

coming from above

for whenever I saw

an inkling of your image

on mortal faces

I fell for you in a craze

without thinking

I might burn in such love’s

fiery, temporary  blaze.

I watch you returning

into your watery grave

inside the lake of tears

where your image I save

as a pearl from a dead shell

that from the boat of desire fell

while trying to kiss the image of moon

on the shivering waters under a mad spell.
