Fragile

a caress of warm nothingness
in a quiet so loud--
heard is nothing else
all senses entrapped
cocooned in this happiness

a seam pops
so quiet
yet echoes
against the silence

a crack creaks
slow and slight
grating against
the stillness

a searing tear
quick and deep
screams throughout
amid sudden distance

the cold pushes and wetness pelts
a universe of sounds-- calamity
all laid bare for all to witness
assaulted by fatal caresses
life has begun, dreams have ended
