Moved from a shack to a barn

The day is spent

And the night is on…

The wind blows swirling about us
Maroon and morose

Making us turn
from the stinging sands
of our disparate histories

To face a new direction
Where chimera
hangs low on the horizon
like an unformed thought

I put my face to the veil of lace
that obscures the glimmer
that hides in her eyes

It comes away shimmering
upon my brow and my beard
As if I’d walked into the webbing
of the most artful spiders

And I exhort her to follow
through the storm broken night
to a heady and humid place

Where I can administer
my hell-gained proclivities
exploring her resilience
with benevolent intent

Til the night is spent…

Woo-Hoo! Go, wranx!

Can't decide which of these shimmering images I like best. Powerful piece of writing, this.

Slowly, this puts the reader
there in the sands
even the sirocco is felt
as the winds shift time.

Thank you Wranx.  First read
of the morning,
now I feel ready to
smile at the day.

you never cease to amaze me...you know my words always fail me...*goes back to her corner*

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Ooh! I like the way this one twists and turns. Very much the way men and women make love, or shall I say lust?
