Shattered Dreams

      Crumbly candles are so stormy,
                     so ferocious, and so wounding.    
                    The catastrophic , lilliputian fire
                      is fed with the silent raven.
                      A weary, yearning butterfly
                       is embellished with an unwavering,
                         undying forbearance.
                      And a ruined sunset bows
                     to impregnable ,serene
                         forests.
                    A glimmer of hope frequently
                        ignites a source of an unselfish
                                 peony.
                     A symphony of whispers 
                       cuts to pieces an enduring
                                    hyacinth.
                    Shards of the sun may cause
                           unwelcome Erinyes.
                      Weaving the past failures into
                     a rapturous, flowery rill may
                         stare at a lasting bluebird.
                       Sometimes the shimmer of grace
                             waters an enthusiastic
                                        mood.
                            And drops of tears like
                               bloody brooks
                            occasionally pour into
                           a pure, celestial bliss.
                            Ephemeral, harsh  words
                                like feathery zephyrs         
                           engulf a heterogeneous
                             daybreak.
                       Unflagging whispers from the depths
                             of a wounded sunshine
                             embrace the everlasting rose.
                          In the secret chambers of the heart
                           will bloom  unyielding truth
                              like an endless Spring.
