...Men in tailored suits 
and satin waistcoats,

out of their pockets,

crinolined, 
elegantly sculpted.

Their tigh...

The lying died
Inside of her mind

And mocks the spiritual

Let our eyes see what God has planned.

A past seeking self forfeits a requisite toll
Feelings are born from moments of pleasure 
Memories are lost to space beyond measure
