La Amour

She built up her castles in the air
Locked herself in the tallest tower
Reveling in a book
Living off the hook
Dreams perished
Memories cherished
Greeting the wake with a smile
Yet dreading the nights that left her barren.

Love, an enthralling glaze of sunshine
Beguiled in his dazzle
Touches that stirred the tension
Glances that inveigled her mind
Amity that twined the two souls
Yet his heart,
A knot she thought she could never untangle

Circs a muddle
Natheless la amour unmarred
Distance stretching way too far
His eyes, once beheld her world
Now hostile, a charred coal

Embracing the broken pieces
She moved on
Her world remains the same
Yet walking past the feeling she still reveries on…
