a soft and sensuous promise
two flames
shimmering from across such waters of charged delight
sweet wonder
take up your arms
carry forth
this fond harbor of hope washed hindsight
respect pleases the moment
sparing little change for its actual worth
yet still its unclear if over agreement
bespeaks
emotional annulment
truth speaks
at the feet of tomorrow
as A New Dawn
slips on her new coat
in some attempt
to rename the past
that of Successful
for leading not temptation
into the open embrace of
a misunderstood desire
