Amaranthine Temptress

Listen to poem:
You - amaranthine temptress! Pay attention for a sec. Let's give it a hap, Ad-lib like vagabonds on the road, Rambling to dusk in a single step, Just before the first stars Appear in our eyes, With Jupiter for you under the Moon, or Ganging up with me to outlaw the routine, Fortuitously not to isolate for more, Not to exclude the beauty of the scene But to boldly intervene, In this chronicle of life Coalesce in the shadows Tumble down a hill, Fall to our lot of feelings, emotions and ideas Celebrate avocation of joy, Incumbency of passion to become dear metier Weaving between our fingerprints As an all evening event, Under the sky or an Arab tent. Perhaps a symphony of sound at night No matter how small or how big But be honest and straight Be quick on the uptake, Through the sound of your voice Through a singing retort Of any sort, At a gig, in a debate, or in bed, While using a thread, a cord or a string No, not a fling! But a romance, Craving for a glimpse, From behind to see the Universe, Or just a verse, Between the skin of yours or mine. Thank-you note in the eyes, Not in the words! Create our little worlds, Unique, versatile just slick.
