-reflection of a dream
I've seen you before
where inspired light once shone
beyond these rod-iron gates
forged from acrid thoughts given
too much control over what I see
memories confused with long faded dreams;
it used to be so peaceful in the shadow
there it's easy to blend, easy to believe
it was never me wherein the problem lies
angry shades pulled I've awakened to the truth
the reasons why my heart remains caged
to the sea into the sea
cast away selfish indignation
bleed deep to aphotic depths, let
color become diluted and indifferent
like unwonted smiles covering traces
left behind when a trusting heart is betrayed
