Veins of Marble

u/OlivesBark

🌧️ Rain 🌊 Ocean 💨 Wind 🕊️ Birds

• If lovers turned to stone
• Would you still envy them
• Would you run free or sit and gaze

• At the grandeur of their solid smirks

• If lovers turned to stone
• Mere statues in your passing
• Would you stop and wonder why-
• You long for lips of marble?
• And the frozen folds of a flowing dress
• Cold against your fingertips
• Then ponder if life’s meaningful

• Or if it’s better petrified

• This beating heart is only half of a home
• Without a lover
• Made of stone
