Inches apart

Inches apart


Olive green solemn face
Serious concentration for all that remains
Warrior, fighter, guardian it seems
And the cold wind blows and blazes its hurried ways


Icicles sprinkles of sharp shards


penetrate


that dull armour chinks


Dented metal and bruised heart embrace
Frown lines, lined eyes of what secrets shared?
Lost years and a missing touch
Of wronged time

Of wrong stages
Of a closer bond that nothing can ever put in place


A porcelain figurine
lost in the forgotten realm
inches away from the old guardian sword


Apart in hollow darkness


There.
Together.
And not
