The Desertā€™s Fading Soul

Dieth by me beautifulĀ woman,
Or, fearful purityĀ hideĀ thine eyes.
Despite sunsetting chills
Thy fleshĀ donā€™tĀ yield likewise.
To face in Hellā€™s scorching flames,
Or Heavenā€™s heavy stars,
Skin, in spite, ever radiates.
Thoā€™ wounds shanā€™t grow scars.

Such pity that God not bestow
Sand to burn, to fuel our coals.
For between the dunes: it is all,
All we haveĀ to saveĀ our souls.
So lay next to me in the dust,
MethinksĀ it will be soon.
Hold mine hand to watch the sun,
Will we not witness the setting moon?

Sely complexity thou art,
Rest thy head next to mine.
And when I breatheĀ thineĀ air;
I will know thy heartĀ be divine.
Mine eyesĀ canā€™stĀ not preserve
From the dying flame, any or all
Except angel eyes, glowing,
Not too big nor too small.

But who art thou who ceases when senses doth,
Who art thou to dieth by my side?
Could I not manifest a priest,
To confess my sins and all thatā€™s inside?
My fear conquers the gates to my body,Ā 
Thoā€™ I will not let it into my mind.
Thou out-ranketh even bishop in soul,
ThyĀ hands ease the pain IĀ leavethĀ behind.

O what delicate creation is thou.
Thy world is mine, live whilst I live.
But I must die now.
