Too painful to express in crippled words, 
her feelings hide in shadow of the stone 
that slowly rolls with current of the stream, 
then floats alone to bottom of the sea 
where pressure of despair cracks her frail heart 
awake with passion of the singing moon. 

Too painful to express with wings of birds, 
her feelings rise on Phoenix wings of bone 
spread wide to cover landscape of her dream 
where she climbs mountain of hope with the key 
that opens doors she finds on the star chart 
designed by Death to imitate her tune. 

Too painful to express in somber verse, 
her feelings crawl from paved floor of the church 
escaping cave of Hell on jagged claws 
by scuttling quick across the stark abyss, 
then rising tall in jeweled gown of pride 
to rule as Empress of the Easter Reich. 

Too painful to express with stride of mares, 
her feelings curl with kittens on the porch 
intense with fortune of the primal cause 
blind gods employ to encourage the kiss 
lovers share at crowning of the world bride 
who then decides to play the role of Psyche. 

Too painful to express in clever jokes, 
her feelings bleed as tattoos on her breast 
when she must fight the wolf inside her home 
who dares invade safe haven of her faith 
till she defeats and slays him with her wit, 
then wears wolf-fur cloak to the winter ball. 

Too painful to express with limbs of oaks, 
her feelings spur growth in her sacred quest 
to escape palace life under gold dome 
and seek demonic wisdom of the wraith 
that aids her fight against the hypocrite 
whose foul crimes are smeared with blood on the wall. 

Too painful to express in devout prayers, 
her feelings writhe from dragon egg of power 
through revelation of the tyrant god, 
so she wears armor of angelic force 
to play Minerva on the global stage 
who wields fair-dealing sword of Liberty. 

Too painful to express with flight of stairs, 
her feelings transcend confines of the tower 
so she convenes new global Justice Squad 
to find spring of our political source, 
and through grand vision of our new world age 
she wields wise scripture of democracy.
