Pon-Farr Calls Me to You


Pon-Farr

Calls me to you

From spaces parsecs far.

Pon-Farr

Calls to distant stars

In many-colored hue.

Pon-Farr

Calls me to you.


Kal-if-fee

And you refused

The final bond with me.

Kal-if-fee

And I only see

With eyes that are bemused.

Kal-if-fee

And you refused?


Plak-tow

Clouds my vision

And begging burns my brow.

Plak-tow

Burns with hatred now

And ends my decision.

Plak-tow

Clouds my vision.


The dead

Knows no relief

For the one almost wed.

The dead

For which I have bled

Has fallen like the leaf.

The dead

Knows no relief.


Pon-Farr

Called me to you

From spaces parsecs far.

Pon-Farr

Called to distant stars

In ugly-colored hue.

Pon-Farr

Called me to you.
