Trompe l'oeil

This bed of love
This very pedestal of sin
Swirling up to the temple
Of dreams.
This bed of love
What is it made of?
Rugged winds of passion
That blow to and fro
Caught in the mesh
The struggle for power.
A throbbing heart beneath
Pulsating and jumping
Threatens to stop.
This bed of love
Gathers wind yet
Stays rooted like
A bloodstained knife.
Scant whispers drop
Like pots and pans
In a kitchen left to
The mercy of cobwebs.
Endless pathways form
Around it above it
Unknown machinations
Of promises given taken
To fulfill and to kill
This bed of love
What is it made of?
The illusion remains.

  1. Emotion provoking and complex...read it four times, line by line, word by word...each time a new meaning, a new understanding.

  2. This bed of lovemaking...
    The illusions remain.
    But etched forever are my mind's memories
    In mammaries nestled deep within
    For ever and more.
