Love Poem: Glasentey

Glasentey

Glasentey
Say it is love
Tide hits the shore
Push comes to shove

Glasentey
It is a dream
Hay bales in summer; 
When the reams

Of ice and snow
Darken the bay
A ship rides in
To take me away.

Glasentey
I'm leaving you here
Forever, with the tide, 
But don't you fear

Glasentey
In the abstract wild
We're loving a 
Forgotten child.

Glasentey
When you're strange to me
Will I remember
That you used to be

Glasentey
Who said it was love
Sex on the ground, 
A nightmare above? 

If I die
Before I wake
Take the cord from
Around my neck.

Glasentey
If we're not 
Together again
Will you be lost? 

Glasentey
If you're strange to me
Will I remember? 
Will a blind man see? 

'Glasentey'
It sounds to me
Like all the waters
In the sea.

Glasentey
The birds all rise
Glasentey
One of them sighs

Glasentey
The birds all rise
Glasentey
One of them sighs

Glasentey
You're scaring me
Trembling I lay
Don't be far away.
