Your Majesty of Tears
The spirit of the mirror
feeds these years in blood
it dries quickly,
marking the place
where blue skies wither
& brittle corn sighs dust
In search of your rose
I worry ghosts
drawn like a bee
past bludgeon of murdering clock
wing torn weary
& beating a fool's tune
the shock of bitter tongue
blind to thorns of the heart
Your reflection
was always a dream
from a place I dared not look
the cruelest truth
ruling love imperfect--
your majesty of tears
But once
away on the mountain
gnawing earth alone with the crows
there for a moment
I was certain
although we never got to dance
I almost glimpsed
a perfect smile in your soul

So excellent!
It's bittersweet, to me. It seems to express a burden of grief that you can neither escape NOR resist. I find myself relating, on a level. And it's the type of poetic expression that I often find myself envious of, since I tend to be more straight-forward.
This is why it's in my reading list.
Nicely done Abra! :-)

Thank you Dulcea.
It's one of my own favourites too - I think there's a sprinkle of the elusive, a pinch of personal and a dollop of unrequited love involved.
I hope its message is slightly mysterious without being too obscure.
