Hold in abeyance
A sub rosa confession
A mystery concealed by science
“Veiled in allegory”
Impossible evidence and concrete lessons
“A Peculiar system of morality”
“illustrated with symbols”
Quoted definition
Of Freemasonry
Complex bureaucracy
A tyrannical
Secret society.
I watched the yellow
ripple in your reflection,
and as it danced on water
it was mirrored in sense
Dreams quivered
in plunging tears
but a falling stars
rare effulgence
revealed this sub rosa
That tripping shadow
moving into the night
carries your secret
bound into desire,
a paramour of night
Still, watching,
her bowed head stitched
into the shadows edge
always regretting the stab
of never knowing love
A bouquet in chocolate covered, rose made words....
Delivered the ballast their coronet and love's, communion
Anise her chatelaine esoteric, epitaphs ? Andromeda, gypsy moths
Metamorphe this curtain of night as she an effusion sub rosa: time's talisman
Archaic play'mates a covenant prolific cherubs,
...."In Progress." *:*(*
