fade and remain

and if i'd the spell to claim your existence
your clandestine thoughts; your soul's soft persistence
i'd follow the mirror aglow with your image
your water-grave eyes, and your lingering fragrance

but unknown by you; lost in the shadows
i fade and remain
love incarnate; mere irreligion
i fade and remain

my kind can dwell with infinite patience
my reverie thoughts can travel great distance
yet deign i embrace you, with meek adoration
your fragile humanity rised with contrition

love incarnate; lost in perfection
you fade and remain
youthful; timeless; deification
you fade and remain

fade and remain - faith and the muse
