Lover’s Arm

Rose-wrapped ivory tower your gold-sawed finger regimentally straight

Bushel of pallid shorn staves triangled inside smokerise-shape-sleeve

Nails pearlescent, docking round of sunrise paler

Scent recollection’s ease; Hers resurrected Nazarene

Sweet heaven-sent honey on hair, harlot high priestess

Castilian rose scent surrounds myroblyte’s enclosure

Stealing glances, steeling lances the cirrus banks of heaven hot with horse-breath

Tranquillitas ante tempestatem, yon nascent light auto-enamoured 

Surrendering oaths, pressed to face infineight gunbarrel of Beauty’s flintlock

Hand I hold like Adam’s hand but Eve, longer than Eve and starting like Adam

Fruitbiter arbiter of self esteem let ripen fruit and judgement clean

Hand I grasp a flask of art poise-imbued, poised and a poisoner and a perfecter

Branch picker, pick cleaner, a lost-digited spider fashioned from pipe cleaners.
