Bloom

Forbearing eyes acutely
gloss the enrapturing of 
a mirrored allure,
a succinct sway in
amorous reverie -

culminating luminescence 
on an ink ridden sleeve
leaves velvet wrinkles
to bloom at the nape,

burgundy lilacs adrift, 
a sweet incense of intrigue  
falls undiminished in 
realms of iridescent thought, 

cast eyelashes carry each
verse to the hearts crevices,
strings weary,
mind craving,
igniting mortality
