Fabric

The fabric of romance falls 
weightless as a cobweb into 
the vacant lap of silent dreams; 
and pleads the idle hands of time 
a complex weave create. 

Does Lady Luck this task oblige, 
her tapered fingers stitch the cloth 
with silver spike and golden thread; 
and gives the reel a roulette spin, 
a motion warm and delicate. 

Now stricken dazed, dumbfounded 
by visions of the finished form, 
love-blinded by your beauty; 
I stumble in your moonstruck shadow, 
forever indebted to the kindly hands of fate...
