Appliquéd on the barrier
of my mundane
world,
abroad in the scarlet
tides, scarlet tides
that shift my eyes.
shift my eyes to the grandest
of musings.
't was thou who
gifted me this
eloquence of beauty.
this burst of breathless
delight.
Thy tapestries of lust
take hold of me
like black. Black velvet
skies that threaten
and bluster, and free me nevermore,
but I feel as if my
heart is mystified,
yet confirmed in
a tender medley
of romance.

Thy tapestries of lust

yet confirmed in
a tender medley
