The trick is in the passion

aloud in gloaming

and neon irises

manifested when eyelids lift

and the beams

from lasers of adoration

slashing the shadows.

The glow is in your caverns

where the strings

in your heart

put violas to shame

and an opal aorta arching

like the Arc de Triomphe

maintains your soul with mine.


Our love is on the clock.


The author's comments:

This piece was a challenge for myself to increase my use of imagery, and I think I've succeeded. I was considering making this longer, but after reading it over I felt satisfied with the message it conveyed. Not to mention I love the glowy stuff in this. Yes, this poem is for someone, but heck, I don't need to establish who every time. I hope people enjoy this (and maybe catch on to some symbolism?) Au revoir!
