Twilight Thrills
Sequestered May 2016
As crepuscular light ebbs across
Celestial stretch amidst silky streams,
Exhaling enchanted orange hue,
Left along pathway of eventide...

And sun descends into elysian blanket,
As crystal rays entwined in embrace,
Heralding glorious glimpse of moonbeams,
Whose ascent adorns heaven's height...

And sunset sank into a sweetly sleep,
Twilight thrills...

Misty Memories
Sequestered May 2016
And then...
A diffident embrace,
Hankered after bedeviled yearning.
Instead, butterfly kisses,
She planted 'pon breathless lips;
Scarved my neck
And schlepped,
Into mystery miles of misty memories...

But now...
That yesterday lingers forever,
Leaving evocative footprints
Left behind by flirtatious fragrance,
That oft beguile my pathway,
Into memories of her;
Whence fantasy atones reality...

Life's Invisible Hands
Sequestered May 2016
Swallowed up in the shadow of shallow stream,
Trails of twilight touted and taunted ignorance
To gulp elusive sanity, as he sinks and drowns
Beneath the crypt of folly; whence ere entwined
That twain kinfolks of obsession and deviltry.

In time, their crude creases passion eased away,
Breathing into existence flames of frenzy fervors;
As refining fire fueled by fervency and urgency,
Consuming needs beyond the bounds of mere wants;
Whence envy desires to covet all unto parsimony.

And then came that era when wisdom crept in,
Streaming crystal rays at the dawn of realization,
To redeem those unruly nights of ignorance and passion
With that sunrise of contentment once craves for;
As sanity walked hand in hand with piety as purity...

And now, in the trying pathway of this earthly sojourn;
I've drank from that overflowing cups of ignorance,
'Been set aflame in the burning lake of irresistible passion,
And soothed by this tranquil zephyr of divine purity...
Yet in all these, life'e invisible hands is still weaving me...
Inspired by the quote:
"Purity engenders Wisdom, Passion avarice, and Ignorance folly, infatuation and darkness."

A Sip from Sea of Sin
Sequestered May 2016
Temptation crept 'neath slinky skin,
Stirring sultry sleep to sip from sea of sin.
Her body wanted, but soul undaunted
To enchant the devil with his own evil taunts;
Whence once ere, he touts and haunts.

'Pon hell's lofty altar she, he enthroned,
And then swore to forever adore her reign alone.
Her body he gowned and head, crowned...
Her worthy recompense for daring all to care;
Spirit, body and soul, baring all to fare.

As an apprentice, his shadow she stalked.
Ere glory, 'pon bleeding blade of fury she walked;
Beheld a feast whence others saw a beast,
And allured this feeble to fall beyond the clouds;
A desirous divergent from those crowds.

And now, most intoxicated by her fine wine,
From this fount and bosoms he will dine and recline.
To her, he gave his kingdom to kiss freedom;
Forever enthroned inside his dark star as his queen;
That sun, the shooting star he has ever seen.
Inspired by Nicotine Dream, a song by LAUREL
