Chandelier

I spoke my words
cast my spell
while piecing together
a sun of broken glass
so the light could seek you out
in the darkness that blanketed my soul

in the company of smoke and spirits
each fragile silica shard
cut through my flesh
as I bound them with serpentine wire

their cobalt crimson amber envious
translucency melded a chain
that tethered me to seeking you out
in the abyss we had fallen into
when the stars were young
and time was only a twinkle
in the eye of chaos

it was that chain bound by my words
that led me on the path
lit by the promise of you
