Chasin' Her Shadow Poem by MacGregor Tagliaferro

What a thrill runs through me
With you I feel powerless
Yet my fears disappear
I cannot control myself
You are the guardian of my faith
With you happiness has come

Your love revived my courage,
And my heart, no longer hunting
Again, it is you
That revived my faith
Pour yourself into me
I await my fill

But if tomorrow
I awoke from this dream
This horrible thought freezes my blood!
What will I in this darkness
Do in death and groans,
Centuries will fill my bones

Where time, all bloody of his injury,
Beside me in the dark night
My hand meets his hand!
What is this breakaway shadow of death?
This is Time! He calls me!
He wants me to come his way

Aside my torment!
And his fatal sword
Disappear, come not this way!
Dissipate up, fatal dream!
The dawn of happiness rises
The shadow of you! Come!
