His plumage deceived
My childhood dreams blue green
Pulled by a thread
Through time's riverbed upstream
As I mend the seam he spills
Flesh to steam
And I would haste the patient days
To know what verdant lawns
You flaunt your shine so pavonine
But you run away terrified
And now i cannot tell what's your's from mine
Or what i'll find
He thinks he is free
But my shadow it hangs in the reeds
Once soft supple limbs
Now taut with attentive greed
And now i want your head
My quilled diadem
A broken conscience struggling
Once dazzled eyes you've lost
The glow the beat
In self deceit
You'd rather gag on the rime
Than share the hearth
And watch the cold retreat
Upon receipt
With readied blade my trembling future in one hundred eyes
Could i rewind i would trade it all just to chase
you through soft pearls of dew the warmth and hue
