Sunk

By the weight of affection

As tyrant tides clash

The tragic glow of heirlooms

Fade softy in the depths

–

I am no longer filled

With the spoils of war

Washed clean by the waves  

Charging through the blue veil

–

Sunken by their trust

By their opulent dreams

The mad and welcoming cheers of kin

Fail to reach

–

I haul their royal bounty

To an underworld of wreckage

Where the lost diamonds gleam

For sharp eyes to reap
