THE VELVET TRUTH ---- BY Louise





For each hug and kiss,
Eyes go deeper, layer under layer,
Blood surges, higher and higher,
Hearts unfold, minds bolder.

In a moment of ecstasy,
time warps, space caves in, brains drain;
Romance grows a trunk of history,
Hearts are petted and crumbled like pastry.

Love is named, lovers claimed,
In that sublimed blindness,
Flesh flashes brightest,
Sends searching lights
Down the laminated corridor of mates.

Piling high the everlasting mystery of souls
Find a seat for the wandering spirit,
Build a roof for the aloof,
And a room for the roaming.

A pillow for the burning temples,
A praying mattress for the flesh,
A candle light to shut out the days,
A canvas to paint an engaging gaze.

In the moonlit night,
A laughter breaks,
a shadow flees,
a sign slips.
