Midnight Castle Rendezvous
Swans........................
.play across the cattail towns,
laden down with white,
friendly fawns adept at dancing
shallow stones...................
and on.........
into the climbing courtyard,
Whisper where.......
and go there.......
not too far or near,
for fear the bells
upon your ankles
speak the truth too well,
and servants lips may tell
the broken words
to try and kill our love.
Fierce...........the midnight hour
seeks us out
to be our last...................
Farewell .........
is written
in the stardust
powdering the stones.
Goodbye............,
becomes the fireflies light,
and my heart grieves........
alone...........................
