Allure

Fortune, fame, fortitude reign, But draw not the tame-spirited From their lofty perch As distinction never clouds the space Claimed to trace the paths of attraction! Calm, drawn subliminally over intervals, Graced by desire and formed in fascination Of ponderous depths! A quality born of ancestral lingerings, Buried sweetnesses, Perceived prissiness, Beauty of a privet and convergence Of shades, shadows, textures Becomes an almost civet-scented incantation.
