Happiness holds a price above my head
as stars dim in the night, a soul's breath freezes.
Prophecies hold together the dreams
that life ripped away.
Whispered words of life wither
in the eyes of truth
as lullabies gather sunflowers
draping them across the ocean of possibilities.
Justify the sickness that seeps
through your lips with a touch
only an experienced sinner makes.
Keeping hearts desires unborn
in the picture perfect moment
of an innocent kiss, [happiness has its price]
as laughter digs a crater in the center of the world
Swaying in the shadow of your arms
heads tilt upon the curve of a bestowed smile
only to fall in the crack made by promises not kept.
Laying hands upon the burn mark
rivers roll across letters once said,
hugs given in friendship only to be lost
like the rest of a child's dreams.
Linger in a moment
As the price of life
smiles upon my sorrow...

Peace. 
Just plain clear and easy to read with emotion guarded by a wise cynicism.
