She Whispered ... Mori

As sweet as poppy's draught of ease
grant me peace
if only for a moment here or there...

Relieve the ache that dulls my waking hours
Leaving day to dusk and light to shadow's dower
If only for a moment here or there ...

Laced upon a skeletal voice of lulling pain
Embalm my heated veins
If only for a moment here or there ...

Forget.. a word of love's deep gift
gut upon a memory's rift
If only for a moment here or there ...

Desire's voracious beast eat
Through this drugged conscious and focus grant me
If only for a moment here or there ...

As ost be charmed by lyre or flute
Or tempted with forbidden fruit
Then damn him for that moment's thought
That from this deafness ought be wrought.
