There will be
no more storms
to shake upon thee

(you simply cannot glisten
crystal drops for me)

your fingertips
no longer strive
for august constellations

and the driven wind
no longer
whistles toothless
through your hollows
gone

your time has come

something took the
fight right from you

as you stand
now prayerless,
in shoes that marry
to the world
you vowed,

i can no longer
make love nor art to you,

somebody please
remove these
haunted memories
that drain
the fertile ground

Sounds like the need of all the kings horses ... or atleast a prince's stead and a good rope!

Maybe one last crystal slipper, it would only be fitting.
