Literature Text
You were the hidden sweetness
behind my mercury-filled eyes.
The star behind the moon
that made me wonder where
you were hiding.
You gave me a dozen frozen
roses while I laid with
broken bones and tears
of jade and topaz and pearl.
You sewed my wings
back into their fractured
place in my back
and reminisced about the ways
you loved me.
Winter turned to spring
and the dozen frozen roses
were not even dry
when you left.
Your broken promises
I kept within the depths of my
veins, keeping them locked
deep within my heart,
allowing them to flow freely
within me.
A thousand gardens laid
within your smile and I counted
the numerous flowers that
grew there...only to find that
they withered away long ago
when you walked out the door.

this is a deviation submitted for the `ArtistsForCharity contest. I'm not so sure about it...not many people are used to my style. Hope you like it.

I've had a look through your gallery, and I am really struck by how rich your imagery is. This poem in particular is beautiful, and so thought provoking.
