Words Much Like Poetry
the window to her soul
the jewels whose brilliance lights up his soul
and bathes it in purity
her very shadow makes flowers grow
her breath brings forth ice flakes
her words are the strum of a harp
and her footsteps the whisper of angels
he can only look at her through the glass
their distances insurmountable
their hopes unrequited
their sentiments unspoken
yet she wears the crown,
his queen of a distant land
her seat beside him remains empty
and the empty palace halls echo with loneliness
