The Hearts We Keep

This matchless heart gives passion to summers starry night,

Temptation grasped through the rhythmic melody of its voice,

Quiet sobs of domestic ache unveiled it to the sensitive sight.

Musical incentives of alluring freedom gave it no other choice.

The mysterious romance that it yearned for mischievously I gave,

Nights of shameful treachery bore oblivious sensual mornings.

Barbed chains of refuge hidden by innocent dreams became enslaved.

Thoughtlessly I mastered corrupt deceit giving no warning.

Its emerald eyes with tears of unending pain reaching far in its soul,

Jealous guilt and broken trust danced mockingly of love growing thin.

With carnal pride I blindly indulged and lost self control,

Alas eternal turmoil scorches these veins and thrashes ivory skin.

Thick crimson streams stains the walls of its empty glass cell,

Anguish rattles these sturdy bones as stars fade in a new light of day.

Time doth heal the wounded song guiding it to a peaceful swell,

The demon solemnly drifts to the depth of lasting memory to stay.

In the distance, the dark will observe out of unrequited reverence

This new serene spring breeze that now caress hearts desires.

Honest hands gently cradle the beauty’s now fragile trust.

Let the nightmares cease and be still this fallen angels dust.
