I Am A Lamp Of Love's Lingered Thoughts

I am a lamp of love’s lingered thoughts
Time has come and cooled what was hot.
It has flickered and faded those burning thoughts
Until all was calm and all was dark.

In the Fall of love I was lain to harden
Raked and crumbled in this undressed garden.
I walk no more in love’s wooded maze
I have stumbled on the stumps of days.

And now you come to take my hand?
Handcuffed with your wedding band?
Pass on.  Pass on.  Lock not this gaze
Else our worlds will burn and blaze.
