Made for Stone

We are made for stone

Stoned to sparser breaths and

Harder grow the nails that show

The way to a darker promise.

Inside a chest once bloomed a rose

A stolen crimson moment

A smile floating on the salinity

Of insanity's truer days.

It's war was against it's beauty

It's questions beat hard against

Every wound, every sanctification

Every lie that cajoled

It loved with the torment of it's fiery being

Yet that was a love sublime

Simpler was the afternoon which rested

Just bred Vile, awhile

The blossom withered without the

Smile from your eyes, the laughter from your hands

The wind rippling waves on a blackening ocean

And my love dying in my little golden watch

I had redeemed a mile, and lost infinity
