Crystallize

              You knocked on my door
broken-winged
                         fallen angel
           cradled in your arms
and I could not
                                    refuse you admittance
                you are my love, after all
     and the angel began to shed
rose petals                    rose petals of white
                 that swiftly turned to red
        upon touching our skin
                     withering to black
  upon reaching the floor
even the earth
                   must understand
        my crystallized tears
    which you
                  so cleverly
                              caught
        between elegant fingers
and
       you strung them
                   among a strand of silver
              like the angel's whiter-than-dawn robe

and I found my tears,
                                 my unfailing love
              was suddenly
my choke-chain
