Unrelenting passion in a sonneteers delusion
moving in rhythm with the windblown grasses
hand in hand on a path through the hemlocks
written vows of brazenness within a sensation.
Transactional mystique steeps in a feted lust
comfortable lounging on an isosceles triangle.
Intuitive antiquarian’s weep on windy beaches
unsympathetic ears grovel in pious idealism.
A stairway of unrivaled peaceful expression.
fortune drifts in the bite of an enchanted spider
au courant is the latest as a fashionable edge
stunned within the slice of the reapers scythe.
Fantasies obsessed and tossed on parchment
in that heartless world of perpetual discourse
cries of the liar locked away with gunpowder,
anarchist’s plot on the dark side of the moon.
