A la Madeleine 0551 - Decrypted Poems

Delved underneath the church, a simple crypt
Exists which fosters deep poetic drive,
Carved like a tunnel, length, a putter's drive.
Rebounding echoes mirror manuscript
Years, tears, dissolving, melt Time's mask tight-lipped,
Portraying Janus. Words flow from the hive
Transmuting dusty thoughts to honey, strive
Eagerly to seed emotions. Clipped,
Decrypted links, thrice sifted, surface. Whipped
Pegasus is stubborn, cannot thrive,
Only through empathy may leap alive,
Energies unbridled, harness slipped.
Magic music, timeless melody,
Sends messages to set the spirit free.
