Description
The loving lilt of your words
and (st)stuttering of your heartbeat
percusses impatient finger drums
against the locked door of my
stainless steel armoured psyche

My broken deadbolt windows
ajar waiting for you,
the dressed-in-black
tarnished jewel thief, sounds
of fast cars at night,
to float in

And you are hiding among
the thousands, a masquerade
ball of normal, stolen songs
and broken glass dancing
glitter across your vision
of me

Maybe you're just the sip
of toxic sun rays highlighting
all the dust in the air of my
two-toned ivory Tower of London

And all my jagged edges will
make those pretty hands bleed
and you heard I'd steal the spark from
your russet gold chestnut dark
monochromatic rainbow irises

And midnight is coming, but
I'll dance with you anyway.
