Frederic Parker Poet Rhyme

The Muttering Retreats

To whisper in the eyes of a lover
and find the cold frozen tip of a tear
in silence, our blue hearts would discover
     that love had become fragile and austere
     through our emotion's brawl
     and our dreadful downfall
     inlaid in our heart's wall
                             to understand
        our wonderland
          turned desert land
The shattered love we could not recover
Had its time, yet we will always revere
The muttering retreats in our minds fall
                            like pouring sand...
