I came undone at the edges
Of our shared memories,
Even though each door
Was unhinged and each
Window pane torn apart,
I could still see your face
Veiled by your secret smile,
A dagger drawn in cold
Arabic blood
Your eyes hiding a hunger
Of the most devious kind,
With Persian spewing
In the night
Your fingers carving deadwood,
Making firewood of pagan Gods,
One measure Heresy, one
Measure pure madness
Niran, Shadows cried but
The fires consumed them all
Unhinged doors and windowpanes
Torn apart
I am coming apart at seams
Of our shared past, melting
Ice in heart of many fires
Of our shared memories,
Even though each door
Was unhinged and each
Window pane torn apart,
I could still see your face
Veiled by your secret smile,
A dagger drawn in cold
Arabic blood
Your eyes hiding a hunger
Of the most devious kind,
With Persian spewing
In the night
Your fingers carving deadwood,
Making firewood of pagan Gods,
One measure Heresy, one
Measure pure madness
Niran, Shadows cried but
The fires consumed them all
Unhinged doors and windowpanes
Torn apart
I am coming apart at seams
Of our shared past, melting
Ice in heart of many fires
