Kismet

Due to his callous disregard, he divided her intent
       Wanting to be loved was rapidly replaced
       With needing to be nurtured

       
       Windscreen scorch, midday duco seared her palms
       A lost Christmas scarab lurid green beetle
       Gripped Flora's taut forearm


       Future she craved wavered toward steely necessity
       Untitled as lucre of lake illusion luminous
       Looming in her frontal lobe


       Angel held urns runneth over, soma sportula pour
       Treacle tips intoxicating as cherry kirsch 
       Accommodation on aileron

       
       Conveyed from kookaburra sarcasm to city suzerain
       Mirror tower monuments collide in clouds
       Encourage worldwide rivalry

      
       Flora's inclination for comfort drives acute delirium 
       Arid Arab cobalt coast melts cultures mosaic
       Gamey gourmet, cutlery gleam

     
       Her new wrist cuffed, convict of antique timepiece
       Lost Duat archived exchange rate temporal
       Khepra hands kissed henceforth
