Not a desire for her carnal touch She don't make me laugh in a dark Not sultry memories of us in past She don't make me wish on stars for her lip Not her silhouette my muse Her guise for a lover, a tainted heart howls Not her scenic dance for a time sake Yet a breath holds for times in her wake Clefts to soul condensed into an eye, a glimpse of her demeanor And a heart art painting, violet and reds Works by her hand, forever marks.
