Revelation's Optical Illusion

Quintessentially phantasmagoric,
  her cobalt skies' chimerical fancy
     whores itself out for poetry, 
sumptuously cached 'tween 
    a revelation's optical illusion
enchanting white knights 
     and seducing dragons alike,
her flimflam elusively lofty
 & difficult to evermore be captured
    amidst celestial spheres of rapture

...and what are we if not whores in the employ of madame reaper dying surreptitiously to self as we buy, sell, and trade one another determining a market value we call fair while laughing at the lie with our tears. Sorry, that fell outta my files — your words are much more amazing, amusing and awsomaniacal. I like peekin' in your PO closet:-) cheerupkas and chitlins! ~ j

I've always found dragons to be enchanting. It's the seductive white knights that spell trouble. - Easily the most chimerical definition for "BS" I've ever seen. ;~)

I suppose I'm a rather cheap whore, when it comes to poetry. Nicely penned, Paloma! Left me smiling:)
