Fragile Heart
Tis thoughts that dance and seem to
count
More than perfect flowers can amount
To, for thoughts of some form of affection
Dew-doffed flowers are a type of confection
A balm to a dented soul
A token to try to make it...whole...
Tis a mere garden of darkeness and
dirth
A wound long past, covered with soiled
mirth
But tis true, the heart was sorely
broken
And to dance and sing, is but a token
For the potion that Socrates didst
partake
Could nae lesson the wounds that he
did make
But the knowledge to you that I do
impart..
Is a simple warning....about a dancers
heart.
