my heart
it does not beat
like normal hearts do,
but i know for sure
that this peculiar heart of mine
beats just for you.
Love at 40 is different
from that of 20's
  at 60,  different from 40's
and,  at 80
  it forgets
  all that which went before
To think in narrative, is a living fairytale.
Not of those read as a child.
But of extinction and squalor.
The raw ache of a love nearly told.
The wreckage of damaged goods.
Lost minds a casualty of defective desire.
Shredded particles of tenderness withheld.
A gleaming crypt in the sunshine, while life posesses the shadows.
Interminable woe in an aura of bloodshed.
Rare is the "happily every after."
A dismal epilogue the usual reiteration.
Slivers of a daydream shines through the blighted dusk.
But the narrative insists on the fairytale.
