The Sculpture Poem by Bella Magik

Carve away the stone until you’re covered in the dust
Of brittle bones and restless tones to shape the image of mistrust
….where underneath the shattered canvass ribs where hearts should lie
Remains the jaded residue of where lovers laid to die

Chip away at ice until you’re covered in the frost
Of sacrifice and restless life to hold the shape of all that’s lost
….where underneath the sapphire melting clarity it seems
Remains the lovers shadows strength relinquishing their dreams

Run your hand around until your fingers break the glass
Of sacrifice and restless sound to shape the future with the past
….where underneath the very feet that bleed red with regret
remains the scarlet tears of lovers rivers being wept

Run away in fear until the yellow covers you
With sharpened spear and restless ear to shape a different point of view
….where underneath the flowing tide of angers burning light
remains the melting core of lovers who have lost another fight
