-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
