Marbleized desires set in rocky expectations,
hearts, so cold and bereft of passion's chiseled features,
being the abstract artistry of a life shaped as despair's stony stance,
solitude's statue standing so frigid amid the day's colonnades of longing,
bearing an outward silence with sorrow's figurine buried within the spirit,
the mind's quarry of hope abandoned from abuse by betrayal's cutter.
Revisited when finding another bust of the same pose from Amore's craftsman,
as two granite souls slowly chip away mistrust from their jagged edges,
at last the inner beauty trapped in that limestone lair where joy's face was yet carved,
set free to become the work of art, a divine sculpture of a soul mate's creation,
finally and always expressed as a single figure in heaven's art studio,
love etched eternal, one magnum opus glazed with immortality's sealer,
made of the ethereal sandstone bonding with infatuation's cement,
forever, a source of enduring happiness that such masterpieces bring.
