Leave Me Not Ever
For I shall die
Of loneliness
Withered away
Like the fallen leaves
Of autumn.

Scattered I wish not to be
By the four winds
Blowing wild
From the nostrils
Of the wind Gods.

Forget me not ever
Embrace me
If only within your mind
Or in your dreams.

My love for you, is as pure
As the driven snow
Douse not the flames
That burns
Within my aching heart.

Allow not the embers
To flicker dim
Into ashes
Of forgotten dreams.

Hold me, Hold me tight
Tighter in the evening
When darkness
Brings the cold breezes
In the still, of a lonely night.
