Mistress Distance

The mistress Distance grieves my heart,
Removing all that care for me.
Tearing out my life and soul
With hands of ice and eyes of steel.

I felt and saw a laugh from her
That set my soul on fire, ablaze.
I heard a sight of sapphire jewels
Whilst in her arms I dallied, strayed.

This image of a perfect soul
Doth fade from sight and mem’ry both.
An evanescent dream of faith
Diminished as ephemeral ghost.

As Hades trapped within my hell
I toss my head and keen in rage.
Persephone beyond my reach
Her beauty past the oceans lay.
