permanência

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
