Almond Beauty

This poem is my proposal piece accompanied by a diamond ring. This is the epitome of the High School Sweetheart.

 

She holds up her hand

Block the window, last lashes of daybreak shake her slumber.

      Somehow she wakes

Beyond that from sleeping when I never woke.

      I wish I owned such torment

That quick splash burns but a moment then anger, confusion.

      But from that icy cup

Butterflies bred in chrysalis fly from sticky stagnant situations.

      An orphan she may be

But more of a mother to me is she,

      She

My Almond Beauty.

      Black cases filled with rings

Bright bouquets cannot give enough, my Almond Beauty.

      Never enough

Never the sweet garnish to ice the road to my arms.

      Though now we rise

Greet the day, leave our heaven till tonight

      I never truly left

The bed where we first slept.

      Bury me in that bedroom darling.

This I swear:

      I will lay beside my Almond Beauty.

"That quick splash burns but a moment then anger, confusion.

But from that icy cup"

I like the burn/ ice paradox.. as if to say "Where'd it go.."
