"Adrift" by Rusty Algren

Adrift

A maiden's song thrust through his heart,

Piercing deep, and burning hot.

Its touch a quick enchanting kiss,

His heart, aquiver from its shot.

Caressed by words like tongues of flame,

Yet still, he would not run away.

Hidden thoughts, deep dark desires,

A foolish heart, caused him to stay.

Consumed in song's sweet bitter touch,

Just ashes left, for all to see.

Now heartless he shall wander far,

Adrift, in painless agony...
