CUPIDITY

Stripped naked - passion

Ambition encompasses our nudity

Rose petals no more designed

To seclude swept spectators

In a drunken barrel - uncontrollable

Stared at by jealousies

A Leviathan’s oasis of providence

Now our lascivious step

Pattern only barren souls

Eternal dance of Cupid & Psyche

Leaves hallow footprints in the clouds

Ardor beseeched by the Dance of the Seven Veils

Licentiously

Unspoken and unknown

We retire the metaphors of sentience

You’ll plunder - strip me deeper

…I’ll do the same

The tango must go on
