Haunting Images

A million magical visions

Haunting images

Lover’s search through eternity

Through layers of time, places

Buffeting, tossing from shore to shore

Images of snowy tops dripping freshness

Gathered into frolicking streams

Playful, dark, fathomless eyes

Morning dew kissing, moist

Laughter of dreams dancing on rosy lips

Soft tenderness of marble breasts

Dark clouds of earthy senses

Floating in the breeze, screaming, threatening

A streak of silvery light

Like flowers gathered in early spring

Fragrant, tipsy, thundering sensuality

Lover’s dream

Searching for a million magical visions

Of haunting images

Then like a cloudburst in the sky

With a basketful of treasures

Of sensuality, vision, dreams, sobs and laughter

Of magical kingdom

She offers a rose

And a promise.
