Robin Brown Poet Sonnet

The Crystal Cage

Through walls of glass, the
naked daylight streams,
Exposing rooms where quiet 
shadows rest. 
Two lonely souls trapped in
forgotten dreams,
Each locked inside a cold,
separate nest.
The crystal palace lets the 
world look in,
Yet blocks the warmth of
any healing word,
Beneath one roof, the 
distance starts to win,
Their silent grief remains 
unseen, and unheard.
The husband watches night
fall from his bed,
The wife lies staring at the 
ceiling high,
The tender language of their 
past is dead,
Replaced by echoes of a 
heavy sigh.
This fragile fortress offers no 
defense,
Where transparent walls
build a fortress wall,
The love they harbored,
once so deep and dense,
Now shatters softly as the 
dark hours fall.
