Coyness, a thing that would get a toy
From the soul, hands of a smart...

Wordless worries wander wearily working wayward,
    Towards thoughts transgressing truth’s textured tide.
As always acknowledging agnosticism’s appeal,
    Essence easily evaporates,...

Bloom! Bloom! O! This evermore wintry tide
Whisper litanies, wondrous lullaby,

Marvels of seasoned rind of litany;
As you march avidly,...

CLANDESTINE

Clandestine…
nice and clean
her intent
candle glow..
all for show
his beguile
mesmerized
hypnotized
enticed 
lured

Clandestine…
anodyne
 arena
underground
concealed
furtively
she bares

soul
lured

Clandestine…
surreptitious
squeaky clean
secretively
seduced
conceded 
surrendered
and then..

DO
NOT
DISTURB
