1. Captive of a binding from an estranged beloved
Saw patience grant him no merit over his reins

2. So he took to whispering his worries in the darkening twilight
When night unfurls its swaths of darkness

3. His familiarity roused war with his aloofness
And he had been one who attained the peace of his greeting

4. So he left him, as if above a mote
It walked, not knowing of his malady
