When darkness tears/ Please knock not

When darkness tears
----------------------

Let me fall
In the dark
With eyes closed
And wings and All.

Let me kiss
This sun once
Light so sweet
And lips left burns.

Go look for
A street called joy
When darkness tears
And moon still coy.

Please knock not
-----------------

At the end of desert
When you reach
Sahill's tavern
Please knock not
And ask for a drink.

But sit by his door
Until moon goes down
And moorish winds
blush you cold.

Please knock not
And ask for a drink
But saddle your horse
And leave for East.

When you reach
A fork of the road
And there, commoners speak
A language unknown
Take Sahill's name,
But not in vain.

Let them guide you
To a place you have known
In your morning dreams
And in evening thoughts

Please knock not
But softly call
Your lover's name
And wait by the door
Until moon goes down.
