Bones and Love

Poison intrepid in the distance,
faltering, moods and madness -
break free from the dream
that binds to find
solace through screams,
silent once born.

Standing naked over heartache,
contemplating time and the frailty
inside bones and love.
We seek seek truth through pain
and know it once felt,
like ice beneath bare feet
or the heartache of tomorrow,
still standing, mirrored
in the armor of roses.
