Wings of Love Vicarious

On wings of love vicarious
With raging impetus my devotion soars
In my dreams night after night
Your loving heart I’ve conquered
Opulence surrounds you worthy of a queen
Gardens of magnolia exult your glamour
Jeweled combs adorn your voluptuous raven hair
Your silken skin mine to admire and caress
On a pedestal you become my temptress
Till roars that wicked chasm of the morning ruthlessly merciless
Brutal reality making a zany mockery of my worship
What callous vicious ensorcellment tears me from my fantasy
And what if I choose to proclaim my nights as my reality

Caren Krutsinger Date: 8/15/2018 7:51:00 PM Imagery is delightfully well done, and the contrast between the glory words and the words ruthless and callous make this ever so remarkable. This will be in the winners circle for sure, Line. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 8/15/2018 7:55:00 PM Thank you so much for your vote of confidence, Caren.
