Fade And Remain

Monica Richards


And if I'd the spell to claim your existence  
Your clandestine thoughts; your soul's soft persistence  
I'd follow the mirror aglow with your image  
Your water-grave eyes and your lingering fragrance  

But unknown by you; lost in the shadows   I Fade and Remain  
Love incarnate; mere irreligion   I Fade and Remain  

Oh my kind can dwell with infinite patience  
My reverie thoughts have traveled great distance  
Yet deign I embrace you with meek adoration  
Your fragile humanity rised with contrition  

Love incarnate; lost in perfection   You Fade and Remain  
Youthful; Timeless; Deification   You Fade and Remain
