Crystal Beats

I feel the light reflected 
  and fall into a catechism 
spoken to prolong the dream 
  alive within her fiery prism. 
Hear the ring of glass on glass, 
  sweet and honeyed gold 
where dancing sparks and ice picks 
  chip the frost from love of old. 
Loosing of my fingers 
  from the beauty of her face, 
a silver vessel seraphim 
  engulfed in flames of grace. 
Warm and scarlet claret 
  fills the facets with it's hue, 
the blush of rose on arctic floes, 
  the living ghost of you. 
And in the haunting drama 
  where perfection must possess, 
a heart of crystal beats 
  and in surrender, acquiesce.
