Cloth
The light catches sight of an alluring cloth,
It’s color mysterious to the eye
With a texture so defined, you dare not touch
Lying across a pedestal,
Just as Juliet lied in wait for Romeo,
It rests poised and composed even in the face of death
Fragile beauty beginning to melt,
A ripple ignites a toll within
The slightest movement heightened by a kindling flame,
Wafting hints of pine wood above aim
Ripples explode into a face,
One that bears a misconception
Sleek black hair curling into elegant waves,
Piercing emeralds shimmer as,
It rises to dance in the air with elongated limbs
A message to mark its absence,
One that only lasts seconds but stays forever
Carved and engraved in the etchings of the past
Dragged away with each outline to come
Surrounded by towering sculptures.
The cloth drifts to follows its design
The beginning of its own thread,
To trace a figure, the one with hands of black art
Manipulating with in every fold,
Cloth transforms to flesh.
Unveiling a posture so amplified,
Golden threads collapse down to wash over bare shoulders,
Each finger pronounced with spacing
The twist of the wrist beckoning
While a slender waist sings a sirens call
Out stretched arms longing to embrace,
Each blink of the indigo eyes unseen,
Opened wide to share what is underneath
Exposing the true nature of what lye’s within
The torturous desire to drown in ones energy
The pleasure of each pulse as it passes, to revive millions of nerve endings
Vibrating with heat, as hands strain to clasp
Balancing the desire and longing as it stings
Indulging in agonizing pain
Oblivious as to what has already foreseen
Bound in ties that allow rang,
Only to snap back as bear traps clamp down
Splitting fictional lips to release rouge droplets
While the sculptures laugh lightly,
Anticipating what will come nightly
Watching as red ants return to split lips
As hands unclasp to be empty once again
And Twisted wrists nap contorted, caving in
Slowly erasing limbs and tears that can’t fall
The cloth rebounds itself into intertwined silk threads
No prof of the once a defined body
Its only remains that of single blond curl within, sleek black hair and gold specks within shimmering emerald eyes
And a devilish grin that parts to remark ever so pleasantly
