The Glass Road

Linking 
living land to land,
turquoise islands of regret,
      to crimson truth 
and  wonder ever green......

       Bronze hands must
turn the amulet to 
mornings spent with you
   and Elderberry wine.

  Come take my hand ,
and vintage fear
     is past to safe return.

          Come burn ,
                your bridges
         with a flame
         that melts
          the sands of time 
                      to 
                  Glass.

  A road now clean and clear 
              and blue,
      where your bright
      diamond heels
   inscribe.........

       and my 
sandpaper slippers
   skate behind,
       through 
powdered glass
           to 
smooth the jagged edges
    of your rhymes.

    slivers slicing.......
     ankles.....
         leaving  
   ribbons red ,
       for 
  tying 'round your silver
     words of love,

A dream of mine and mine alone..........
     forever 
written out upon................
        this cold and  fragile ,
winding
                Road of Glass.
