Charmed

Grainy shards
of shattered
memories,

cut a diamond
into your eye
of wonder,

a rainbow hawk
glides drunkly.

I slither under my
guilt blanket of
told you so,

forgotten in the mist
of thunder bolts spewing
from your plumes
of fuchsia hued apathy.

I wanted to be
your beautiful riddle
your muse of perplexity,

measured as saints
measure compassion,

still never knowing
what I truly lacked.

Time warped
between forgotten tomorrows
and grateful yesterdays.

Riddled with
copper exhaustion
serenaded by regret,

paradoxical anesthetic,

caustic from
unattainable bliss.

Jade castles erected,
grim reality accepted.

I chose to live in your arms,
just to die in your thoughts.
