Whispers of Illusions: A Poetic Rendezvous
Stormy Waters
Hidden are my motives
Sweetest within
A dark layer
Full of sin.
*
Tracing your porcelain
Hand over my
Velvety petals
Whispering secrets
of
Rich and intoxicating
muses.
**
Blindingly you
Cast your
Doleful eyes
Away
From the turbulent
Seas of
Our being.
***
Have no
illusions that
I am
A ship
For your safe travels.
****
Beneath
My planking,
It is riddled with
Hollow.
****
My thorny red roses
A shadowed offering
Will pierce
Your heart and soul.
******
Only to witness
You bleed
Oh so slowly.
********
Just one request
I have for you.
**********
Refrain from
Spilling your
Crimson life force
On my pure
gilded vessel.
