REVISION 6/4/12
stars peer through convent skies
as their promise fades
into jaded absolution
once they shone with fires of steel
stolen by three nails
and the frightened stench of frankincense
the celebrated dreams of sun
once thawing bitter death
now melt into wrapped reminders of guilt
and the stars, already grateful for their haloes
one by one
slip away

Quote:ORIGINAL VERSION
stars bleed forgotten jubilation
watching their promise
fade into jaded absolution
once they shone with fires of steel
stolen by three nails
and the frightened stench of frankincense
the celebrated dreams of sun
once thawing bitter death
now melt into wrapped reminders of guilt
and the stars, already grateful of their haloes
one by one
slip away
It could be worse
