Dancing Fool

Dancing upon jagged clefts of earth
White rose between my teeth
Stretching arms and stretching heart
A bag of wistful dreams

Oft I gather pretty presents from
My fickled mistress Muse
Lonely fangs on lonely heart
A box devoid of hope

Need I break this golden cage of ribs
The beating bird to fly
Nesting in the breast of love
To live in joy and cry
