Notes About The Poem

The Fall of Defenses

You won me in
the shard of a second 
I opened to you like an oyster
In that one moment you tore down 
walls, shattered towers. Opened shells,
devoured me, saw me, and in that instant, 
in your soft eyes, I saw no triumph, you 
were a mirror. I was beautiful, you 
saw no scars. Your smile 
burned into my soul...
And I was yours.
