A Poem - By Madness Rent (2004)

If life were set in simpler times,
Some mythic memory;
Fostered by the fondest dreams
My heart designed for thee,

Then days would come
When that which was
The air that let me breathe -
The balm that cooled my fevered brow
And calmed a mind that seethed,

Would flow into my breast again
And soothe my tender heart,
Then those that were by madness rent
Would not so cruelly part,

For what I dreamed
Was meant to be;
A simple, blessèd purity.
