In frame thou stayed with stiffening body

A perfect posture handcuffed by wire

The coldness swarms dousing indocile fire

Thou gently kneels into that pitch-black sea

And waterboarding suffocate thy hope

A humble lady serves the enemy

Implicative tears back-flows to thy heart

It freezes thine life, effigy on rope

But cracks would widen and statues fracture

And teardrops corrode thy pale frozen face

No love then caress thou and no more grace

Then soft feathers soaked with heavy water

If stars no longer shine if rose not bloom

If thou wasn’t that beauty learning to groom
