Not a love like any Other

You were the thread from Ariadne’s dream,

A ray through the fog, dusk’s endless gleam.

Eternal caryatid in a virgin rose,

On the verge of sleep, in my garden of old.

You lay asleep in a field of lilies,

I drowned in the honey of your breath so mild.

The night was haunted by childless dead,

And you were my offering, and my sacrifice.

You are what your incense mouth conceals,

You dwell where no one else appeals.

You are the Doric wind’s lamented song,

That bears the trace of a farewell long gone.

You are no love of earthly kind — In you, a god and death entwine.

You were the sibyl who spoke no fate,

The thirst in rain, a vow too far.

You were the cloud where wonder hides,

A rootless tree with its subtle charm.

We were apart, yet distance collapsed,

You were a bird with no course or map.

Absence was more than you could give,

Invisible chart of melancholy.

You are what your incense mouth conceals,

You dwell where no one else appeals.

You are the drowned-out song of the wind,

Where the trace of farewell still lies within.

You are no love of earthly kind— In you, a god and death entwine.

And if something remains, it’s more than a name,

What you once were climbs like ivy and wing.

In my weightless self, your love burned slow,

Then vanished in silence — without letting us know.
