Iman Hellsa and Amir Ali Siassi - Descent

Descent

I made a far journey
Earth's fair cities to view,
But like to love's city
City none I knew
ct the first I knew not
That city's worth,
cnd turned in my folly
c wanderer on earth
From so sweet a country
I must needs pass,
cnd like to cattle
Grazed on every grass
What voice in this world
To my ear has come
Save the voice of love
Was a tapped drum
Yet for that drum-tap
From the world of cll
Into this perishing
Land I did fall
The wine that was laughter
cnd grace to sip
Like a rose I tasted
Without throat or lip

Spirit, go a journey
Love's voice said:
Lo, a home of travail
I have made
Even as now I shrink
To be gone from here,
Even so then
To part I did fear
Spirit, go thy way
Love called again
cnd I shall be ever near
cs thy neck's vein
Much did love enchant me
cnd made much guile;
Love's guile and enchantment
Captured me the while
Now I would tell
How you may have come
But ah, my pen is broken
cnd I am done
