THE COLORED BILLET DOUX 
abstracted vesper is swept down; from 
the blue mountains, slowly the 
flickering lamps are eager
to glow; once again;
life has been a
feeling of 
relief; 
gazing from the drapery; some moments
of inebriation; some pains are 
desperate to re-emerge,
again into
unconsciousness; you've touched to the 
deep secrets, or life is closer to
the destination, colored
billet doux; written 
by the setting
sun; 
floating still on the ocean, again desires 
are restless - - -

THE ILLUSIVE NIGHT 
proviso wasn’t any, the expression of
eyes made all the affidavit, on that
unseen agreement , perhaps
the lips stamped the sign
of consent , on those
nervous moment ,
life submitted
the valued
soul,
a belief to travel through the inmost –
destination, whatever having
near; heart has agreed to
offer on the altar of
love; that offer
had its own
beauty,
to get the absolute salvation, conscience
has sacrificed all the aspiration in
exchange of sanctimonious
flames, now the blessing
or curse is concealed
in your heart, the
the unseen
ritual of
adoration toward to end, the divine rays
have to break; before the dawn,
a captivated earth waiting
on the door step - - -
