Night withdraws
and I alone inhabit
those Spanish eyes
We sit upon the hill
where El Greco once regaled
the arts with a masterstroke
We listen for dawning chimes
as she picks flowers
& passes explicit love notes
I catch the shadowed
reflection of erstwhile
against her naked back
How it resembles curiosity
& imperial city bells
ringing forth
A klaxon
a clarion
the siren call
To passions both painted
& fleshly achieved
by the same inspired hand

Night withdraws
and I alone inhabit

We sit upon the hill

We listen for dawning chimes
as she picks flowers
& passes explicit love notes
I catch the shadowed
reflection of erstwhile
against her naked back
How it resembles curiosity
& imperial city bells
ringing forth
A klaxon
a clarion
the siren call
To passions both painted
& fleshly achieved
by the same inspired hand
