My Lord, I Shall Not Try


I pray thee in the temple of gloom
with a smile of shining saber in my room
I whisper words the wind may not know
and somehow keep them deep in the hollow

I deeply groan in the roaring sea
with on my tongue a rusty lance one cannot see
then come red-eyed seagulls with burning breath
caring of my wounds with painful death

In the howling night the tranquil mind I beseech
like an old shaman takes blood with a leech
thus off my soul to the bleak cloud goes,
to alienation, strangled in the bliss foes

The nights fly
The days bye
The hollows cry
My Lord, I shall not try
