...

in silence
the saving secret was hid
beneath a lid of automatic hope

through crystal distance
you bled in sweetness
drank your fill
i fell ill
Honesty - a pungent breath
arrested my lungs
putrid with Lies
whose cologne has faded

shells were cathedrals
under your delicate foot
under your cloak
i could not look
shook was i
by your soundless sigh

tremor, valor pasted on the wall
to mock
martyrs or saints
pallor, in silence
the saving secret was hid.

exquisite. uniqueness sparkles softly through this piece. imagery translates to emotional projection rather than through the bluntness of explanation.
