World's Eye from Arriving Fire by Martyn Bates

WORLD’S EYE : I searched so long, I looked so deep ... such beauty’d tales you told me/I kept you close, for my world alone -the more that you’d belong to me ...
and I entered yr life – loneliness -and I asked for nothing – loneliness -/now the day is breaking - loneliness comes down – it comes down .

... and I can’t speak for sudden sorro -/and I can sense that come tomorrow you leave me and I leave you, breaking in the world’s eye .

sleep eludes me in this room, I can’t find my way there -I’m lost, incomplete – there’s no centre to me - I’m circling, spiralling nowhere ...and in vain I’m watching – loneliness -as yr sleeping/sighing - all loneliness - n I’m beside you lying - just loneliness - it comes now - its coming now ...

and, all the hungered soul of love is sleeping - all the morning light is leaving -you leave me/I leave you - searching the world .
