With Your Hand In Mine

With your hand in mine,
Did I once walk,
Through Eden's gleanings,
Cheerful and carefree

With the winds of eternity,
Did We once saunter,
Through trees of grandeur beauty,
All, in the confines of our mind

The semblance of the seventh heaven,
Lugubrious to this day, as the first,
Through a kaleidoscope of misery,
An impeccable orchard of Hades

The bare reality of civilization,
Of society and of culture,
Shackled with sinister customs and traditions,
The ravenings and the words, becometh aghast,

Disillusioned and solitary,
Without a voice of reason,
Gazing together into eternity,
With your hand in mine, towards an ethereal desolation

Forever lost, in an oblivious mirage,
Alone and unaware, still as One,
Where the caverns of death shall freeze,
Let the wings unfurl..
