IN THE MEMORY OF ORPHEUS by Eric Rosenbloom copyright 1997 Your music may coax her back to life That we may see again the picture Of all our senses in agony and pleasure rife Stir again our memory’s mixture, But you, you can no longer know The image you evoke, the delight You seek, the mystery that entices so Yet dark remains, unheard another night. Your love, that rules your memory’s cave: You draw her out, yet even she Dissolves before your anxious gaze: We see her fleetingly, A memory of memories to save And solve a moment our life’s long maze. |
