LOVERS ALONE

For Jack RIP

It grieveth my soul, my love
That by some small token of angelic allusion
We hath toiled the labor of separation
The cool confuse of celestial array
But let us not be the Artisans of Fray
O Come, let us not dismay
The gloomy girth of segregation
Lest our hearts doth beat anger or hate
Or test fate, no
Rather let us sing a simple song of melody
The love we hath for each other
As the salt of the sea, my lover
Soon we will be united
And fly the eagles of paradise forever
