A silk silver lustre drapes gently down, Gracing the moment’s frame. But ladder stitched, Hides the dowdy lens like a Pantone brown. Misplaced among the masses’ chic, bewitched, The lens nests, seduced by stiff zipper grilles. Eagerly dormant, long and forgotten, Poses a masked hunter, preserving stills. A Snow White music box on soft cotton, Displayed, she waits in a regretting fog. Wind calms, caught in the fleeting, silk-warm rays. Limbs waver, torn amidst the pulling bog Of unintentional judgmental gaze, And the vast, vermillion-rich, puffed billow. Lapsed, the eye indents deep down the pillow.

The Scared Eye
A silk silver lustre drapes gently down, Gracing the moment’s frame. But ladder stitched, Hides the dowdy lens like a Pantone brown. Misplaced among the masses’ chic, bewitched, The lens nests, seduced by stiff zipper grilles. Eagerly dormant, long and forgotten, Poses a masked hunter, preserving stills. A Snow White music box on soft cotton, Displayed, she waits in a regretting fog. Wind calms, caught in the fleeting, silk-warm rays. Limbs waver, torn amidst the pulling bog Of unintentional judgmental gaze, And the vast, vermillion-rich, puffed billow. Lapsed, the eye indents deep down the pillow.
This sonnet is a bit hard to interpret because I juggled too many different metaphors and references.
