Premiere Contest WinnerRapture In Obsidian

Ivory stars flicker and spit 
like candles kissed by zephyrs.
Midnight foil effervesces, 
raptures me in obsidian.
Gladiolus come begging 
at my crimson thoughts.
Smoky Cirrus caress 
a white butterfly crescent.
Charcoal embers in a pit 
whisper ashes of roses.
Cerulean wavers 
in remnant flames of saffron. 
I stir absinthe at an onyx table 
on a porcelain patio.
Chartreuse gardens fade 
in sable shadows.
