Beyond the Veil

Sacral veil that shrouds bright hopes, dark fears Screening altar that christens so deep a bond Scrolled with the innocence of carefree years Sacrificial shutter signifying all self-serving interests will abscond Separating from the corporeal ties that correspond Shade shielding truant desires from the dawning light Mantle that merges burgeoning stems into fertile frond Curtain hiding fawning beauty; maiden's honor not to spite Mysterious tapestry woven to purposely slight, then seemlessly delight Universal symbol sanctioning fealty, consecrating fidelity Satin awning whose placid eaves opprobrium doth disquiet Temporal cloth lifted; two souls span the bridge to immortality Ceremonial threads relegated to the scrapbook of blanching time Cherished patent that spawned a new love in it's prime
