An edifice of true beauty
Wallowing in solitude
With walls so high
Denying men of the great view
A chest of treasures
Buried to the deepest core
In tombs of silence
And echoes of sobs
A lady hurt too often
By the overrated phenomenon
The phenomenon of love
Purported by men as phenomenal
On the other side of her wall
Stands one curious pauper
With riches on the innate
A heart as pure as pure
Wandering and wondering
Why beauty of such magnitude
Goes about unnoticed
In chains-and-shackles-bound
Would you just let me in
Get me just beyond your walls
And let me at least try
To unravel this chain mystery
I come bearing nothing
But a key to these shackles
A song to this silence
A light to these tombs
I come as another
Another of you
Rejected and abandoned
With nothing at all to lose
Let me in, mi lady
As one to dry your tears
One to be your ears
Only if you let me in!
Would you, or would you not?
