Pictured a lover lying far away, where the night we share closes the distance.

"Alla Prima"

A bead of ink, a falling star At irresistible velocity Perfumed with an incendiary scent With notes of Heaven's shadow.

The circled incantation Softly beckoning Sweetly glides a rainbow sheen Aurora black to liquid gold.

Your possessed fingertips Ignite the bedroom air Lapped upon your tongue To be kissed back in laughter.

An exultant canvas Panting and painted In unholy oils You lie emblazoned With the sigil of my name.
