By Dark Valkyrie

Tread with caution
You are not in a dream 
I have felt the rose vines growing along the walls of your soul 
They cannot hold back the blistering rays of tomorrow’s sunrise 
You, the harbinger of tranquility and silence 
The shadow that heal the wounds of unfulfilled remembrance 
You, who is still pure in a world that is tainted, 
The essence of every ode that has ever truly been recited 
Find the place where darkness subsides
Conceal yourself among the silhouettes
Bury yourself among the ruins
Mask yourself with the ashes of the fallen
But don’t let the lifeless hands of reality find you

    Brilliant work. Your word choice I myself felt a bit intimidated by. Also, I like the idea of using an old logic puzzle as the title for a poem. Cheers, my friend. :)
