the nutcracker op 71 act 2

Lingering the tunes of a Tchaikovsky night ~
             following its cerulean cords in a c a n d y c a n e delight

 etching it's breathless rhapsodies into the mere chords
             of wonderland love

reminiscing lyrics of drizzling hope
    from our Dearest above

      How I've loved! - how I've fluttered away into its
                                                                    .. violet rhythms 
                  bleeding every selfish woe into a violent choreography
                                     ached into a whirlpool of hesitance

vivian birds mocking my stay
       caught in a marigold loop of its poetic obsessions

                                         over and 
                                               over and 
                                                         over
                                         into madness.
