Unpolished

feudal love

if this prince fears anything
it is not to lose a battle
if this prince wants anything
it is not to win at war

this prince is afraid
of all that is memory-made
the moist of old gardens; rusting city walls
delicate china; the scent on the bed sheets
soon they will be lost to time
recorded in something as volatile as the mind

floral wallpapers peel; voices grow distant
breakfast smell fades away; porcelain breaks
vines wither;

this prince could only hope
vampire eyes would stay; faces remain vivid;
blood is still thick; promises are kept

everything is paler by tomorrow
even feudal love fades in the edges of darkness.
