Jayne Eggins Poet Blank verse

Ivory Etchings

watching as twilight
crept over the brothers
and stars being re-birthed
to fortify the Great Wall


street lights line to ignite,
the shimmering black mantel
concealing azimuth,
and seductive ebony lips 
slide,over the lamp


once more,
A visage of ivory
looks upon earth
on the cusp
is where your found,
a palled specter
drifting shadow to shadow
passing as
a will-o-wisp of 
ebony vistas,
always out of touch


with the sense of perception
lulled into deception,
as one fingernails breadth
breaches truth,
trouncing the foolhardy


the blaze phases,
and passion is pendulous


but still,
twilight bewitches,
and the ivory succubus 
of night
mesmerizes all, 
with moon eyes


as the mantel 
of seduction,
rolls with reverence
over azimuth,
her willing victims 
are waiting,


etched in ivory
