My friend
I am not what I seem
For seemings but a garment I wear
the I in me
Dwells in the house of silence
And it shall remain forever more
Unperceived, unapproachable.
My friend,
I am not what I seem.
For seemings but a garment I wear
When it is a day with you
It is night with me
Then you can not hear the songs
Of my darkness, nor see my wings
Beating against the stars
My friend
I am not what I seem.
For seemings but a garment I wear
I would not have, you hear or see
I would be with night alone
When you ascendest to your heaven
I descend to my hell
I love my Hell too well to have you there
I would be in hell alone
My friend
I am not what I seem
For seeming but a garment I wear
In my heart, I laugh at your love
Yet I would not have you see
I would laugh alone
you art good cautious and wise
nay you are perfect
And yet I am mad
But I wear a mask
I would be mad alone
My path is not your path
yet, together we walk hand in hand
