Mesmerized

You, who like the moon at night Haunted my mortal heart You who made this ancient walls Shine like divine marble The unwanted breath, through credence A derelict shell in the desert Mesmerised As love inflamed the night Burning tongues brought the rain The sand remained, purified Murmur at the meager's spear Battered Carthaginian pride The beloved cry, wasted dismay Invasion of baseness and shade You, loved by your father Innocent as a vestal, dove Buried in a deep blue sea As we all lose, ever
