    “Making Love to a Reflection”



    She sleeps with her pearly arms
    Which coiled between silk like silent snakes
    Shift like sugar in the morning rays

    Awakened

    Standing in front of the glass heated with circles of flesh
    Sinuous mounds of feminine dress
    With eyes like coal in the heat of Winter’s fire
    Blinding with her Venusian power
    Beckoning all the sins of passion and carnage
    Mortal Desire

    To take heed, to feel her by stream
    A maiden pure and burning with dangerous reprieve
    Oh at last, she is in my arms!
    Breathing quick with fire and devilish alarm

    Twirling in whirls of skin and salt
    Shadows twist on the walls of the vault
    In which light dare not enter
    We wilt together in the dunes
    Of Time, of Love ephemeral,
    A siren tune

    Duplicated, Her tiger eyes glare
    Like Medusa in the darkest cave; she commands my stare
    Though with second glance, she was never there
    The light never flirted with her chestnut hair
    Dormant In the grains of the Carnal Desert which few
    Voyage
    There
    Quenched by her flowing Lair now subdued

    Beware the Tigress with her wild wicked hair!
    Her sumptuous flare!
    Her pitted glare!
    Spreading Beauty unlike others would dare

    But for now

    She lays, cold yet still fragrant in the flowers of Love
    In the embrace of sleep which grasps tightly and shoves
    The face of Heaven
    The eyes of Serpent

    What womanhood so inflamed
    Now rests in the Oasis of Dreams?
    In Vain
    In which all can be heard are sour screams?

    Ah, poor lady of Lust
    Tempted by the evils of man and bust
    Treated to the delicious reflection she sighs
    For the moment when her lips meet mine in surprise

    Another wench in the glass
    Pays her visit at last
    Throws the cup at her, spilling the wine
    Drunk last at nine, she now sees a swine

    nice... very nice... erotic, but clean.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
