I won for you
a trip around
the world the moon
suspended heavy
as a tasteless diamond
in a sapphire sky
over the Bosphorus
did nothing
to endear me
to you
I built for you
a castle of glass
and clouds and mirrors
clear as air every surface
so soft it broke
the heart while cradling
the soul
but it did not sway you
I placed in your arms
a tiny dream
sweet and warm
and pink and gold and blue
named for no one else
we knew and he
smiled like you
as you handed him
back to me again.
That was when.
