In a White Dress
Goddess
A lady as thee
With time you may forsee

Swaying your way
By drink I’m entranced
I follow as you dance

Notes punctuate
A curl of the lips
Eyes tracing down your hips

Tell me your name
Just who might you be
Angel of lust
You gaze at me

The scars of my heart so ache for your lies
To forget again, I heed no disguise
Heat coursing, the taste of your skin
I wonder
Woman within
Sorrow
Death’s thrall
Now gone, I can’t recall
Drawstrings
Of drapery night
They welcome oversight

Latches
Regalia so torn
From the flesh it once adorned

Breathing
Sealed with a kiss
A poem such as this

Never, this name
Just how could this be?
Angel of death
You’ve come for me

The scars of my heart so ache for your lies
To forget again, I heed no disguise
Heat coursing, the pale of your skin
I wonder
Woman within
Sorrow
Death’s thrall
Return, I recall
