My love was a dream
So fulfilling that after it
All reality could give
Fell short
And nothing in this empty world
Could ever hold
The serendipity
Of my humble dissociation

The word 'prodigy' never found its way near my name. Yet, all I hear from peers who used to be proud, now concerned, is ' you know too much.' And I ask, and I cry.
Did I fly too close to the sun again, Father? Am I falling?

I forgot to love myself
Fearing vanity
Truth be told
It wasn't mine
Only your

I came wounded
To the shore.
Sure, it was foolish,
To hope,
To be soothed,
To be cradled,
To know less aches;
Lighter on the waves.
But I was too wounded,
Abrasions and bruises.
Surprise! I dived! I cried!
It burns, even the ocean.
You are on your own
Sail wherever you like
These waves are your to tame
This spirit has always been your own to break
And when it comes, the end
Inhale this scent, this sea
Sing your swan song in ecstasy

Maybe if
My shattered seams were laden with gold
I could have promised
To have and to hold
But like the former
I broke

It just so happens that I am filled with such unclaimed misery, I am convinced I smell of asphodel. There the pain, cumulative of all lives lived, is mine. Though not in flesh, it blooms for me, fresh.

Almost and always
She tempts me
To be as cold as her
Winter, in all her beauty
Haunts me too
As she slowly dies with the dew
-reign
Indeed I am
Lady in waiting
For a highness I met
Once in some dream
Had a conversation in whispers
Amused my Liege
Now I am left on seen
