Deception - POTD

POTD 4th Nov 2019

Vanquishing all reservation
 twilight's prelude heralds
 shadowy anticipation
of a secret amorous thirst
He surrenders once more
to his darkest desires 
amplifies the sultry ambiance
with star spangled bursts

A slave in her entity
tremulous in her splendour 
Captivating and illuminating
this shadowy tryst
yet her heart beats not in rhythm 
to the songs he composes
she dismisses him once more

Saying… ‘it is what it is’ However, through chinks of his ardour ebbing resplendence Predominant primacy hard to resist will persist refusing to believe …’it is what it is’ refusing to believe …’it is what it is’
The intricacies of love too difficult to fathom Her preference mismatched he cannot define her daily mantra heightens sensations reserved for the one who appears to outshine?
Nothing but ineffectual is her discordant course the unyielding reality of it drives him insane and through the ebbing darkness she hears him screaming ….’it is NOT what it is It is Not what it is’
No satin ropes will tether her cosmic line of duty No romantic soft liaison would induce her to stay Tremulous and tender her love cruelly wanders from his romantic serenade she turns her light away Succumbs to his enemy…Day
whispering softly…. ‘it is what it is It is what it is’
