Captive
Soft pillowed mouth
invites a fall below
hazel brown eyes that seduce
virgin dawn to a zenith crescendo
and the release of primordial seeds.
Sultry afternoons' oppressive heat
moves to a twilight mauve
with disquieting regularity.
Too soon, as the canopy of blackness
enfolds an amorphous tomorrow
under this celestial vault,
an anguished groan erupts
from the soft pillowed mouth.
