simple
subtle dare
this one it hides
it seeks in vain it
piques the interest of
dreams oblique and in a rush
it crashes castles built with bricks
of glass too fragile specters canceled
dreams dismantled leaving damsels lost and

princes who can not be bothered no
they've other quests to go and so
retreats this chance so rare to
shelter where the silence
cares for sinful prayers
and wanton shares
of simple
subtle
dares
