A castle made of glass, and
I'm surrounded by cutting glaciers,
and rocky tumultuous mountains.
How does one break the thinly
veiled tension that's so thick you'd need
a knife to cut it into pieces to serve to
others at your table?

I'm going to continue to spin
in circles, staring at the sky right before it rains.
I'll also trace my toes within
the opague veil of sand covering the fields
and marshes containing various
sea birds and rotting meadow grass.

The cake doesn't taste the same as it did
at noon in your apartment while we sat
naked on your countertops taking turns
feeding each other the frosting with our
fingertips laced with chocolate sprinkles.

The end was inevitable, but the destruction
of our love I don't think I was prepared to face.
At least, for my passionate and aching soul,
the calm after the storm finally arrived.

Such innocence hides
Such innocence exposed
Such regret shown
Through the grave stones

What pity you sailed across the sea
To the foreign lands that were sought to see
Through the baffled expressions
And nightly figures
swaying in the dark with opague aggression
Sealed windows blocking the sins
That fall into the hands of those akin
Yet the air that was filled in the heart
Was bursted with a thousand darts

Such innocence hides
Such innocence exposed
Such regret shown
Through the grave stones
