Tempest
You are stolen; So
You sell your body
To mens in gold
All tangled up
That sluggish old word
Or so we thought
For as it is
the world hath turned
Not I
will come to rescue
Not I
Neither will your own two senses,
Or whatever linger still
While the rest you do not own
Anymore
When we met
Your mind and your soul
Your eyes, and your frown
Beckoned to me in the street
and spoke to me of your feat
From the night before,
and the night before
You spoke of some
Bestowed man who come
At moment's notice begin to run
Like a Spanish wild-bull;
But you, beaten you
Everything fading from within view
Tempest
You weep in rooms
Behind doors you know
None would ever open
Despite your charm
It is all spilling now
Across the beautiful veneer
The cracked seaglass
plaster bowl
The candles, ribbons,
and lace,
All spread so silent across
The bitumen
Quietly;
Bright as the day was once
The chatter with you
You have been kind to me,
She uttered under breaths
But I think now is the time to
Part freedom from old youth
What then of your child?
