Crushed rose petal and gemstone
Wicked snap of jasmine
Summertime sadness wreaks melody
Gloved hands rake through blue dusk.
She breaks against you
White lace tied in French knot
Threads of desire burst from her mouth.
It is dusk that seeps through pores of
Shining skin and pervades your being like music
Torn from the heartache of forever.
Listen to the rhythm of her body
Intentionally lose yourself to her touch
Reset the silver clock dials
Preserve her twilight beauty in immortal wine.
She lingers on in
Silk skirts laced with bramble tears and
Crimson slipper. Swallow the desire in her eyes
Watch her turn to salt spray foaming with blue dusk and
Rejoice in her final celebration of life.
