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.
