Broken Trinket

Doth behind your eyes
Are hidden secrets there be 
What's that I hear 
In your daily sigh 
Something I dare 
Not to compare.

Diligently I write 
Lives, romances 
Their strives, those satires 
Moment of my awakening 
Having been one awards
Of the putrid deeds
Of mankind, oh you
Oxymoronic thing, you
Man-kind.
If only true, I could see
In you that light
It ought not to be hid. 

Don't spare me now 
Late in the narrow pass
I'd surely live through
Your devouring
Of my feelings.
Little orb, gaze on me now 
I still hurt, my heart 
Lives somewhere around.

Dash me upon 
Rock and boulder point
Sink me like galleons 
Of old Spanish gold.

For my value is not 
Near the market price
A broken trinket 
Found on lost beach 
Of love for you
If you wished dear.
