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 - - -
