Once

I know so little,

but in passing, I knew love once

and like an acquittal

all suffering it blunts

 

Stolen glimpses of the past,

a man who could see, but now is blind,

with fondness that will always last

coloring the blackness of my mind

 

Passion is only skin deep

but love goes to the bone

It pardoned the sins that I reap

though only once did I it own

 

I can die with a smile,

though it was so long ago

A redemption from life\'s trial

and that\'s all that I need to know
