Down Walls

Castles on down peaks I wear
Grey but warm
Flakes of cherry stems outside
Stale but there
As stripes entangle bowing limbs, left to waist my time
Grey but there, as there is warmth to mine

Tangles in my shaven hair
Falling from the grey
Etches in the candle flame
Missed and fair
As stripes encode the language lines, shrivelled through this vein
Grey but there, as there I lost my mind

Sunken shade, as once my waiting whiled
Grey for what I had to share
Walls to wish their flight through wild
And I was left behind
Chasms in my looking glass
Falling from these rooms
As once my waiting came to pass
Grey but there, and I was left with mine
