a wiser design;
bleach all the crimson declarations
cast from my love seat
towards that woman
who soaks her toes
in april’s snowy drifts
and arranges her tresses
with articles of faith, so well concealed
that shadows reciprocate
with carnage and connoisseurs

I hang heavy in the corridor
waiting for a breath of light
to expand in her archway
the darkness keep me rigid
and in a state of emotional abandonment
a rapid decline
in the reciprocated declarations of love
that lie unfurled and bleeding
pouring from a wound in my breast
the scar tissue reading like hieroglyphics
to the acres of silent reprises

my love
a man can only empty the contents
of his soul
into so many short glasses
at your table
before he himself
needs to lend his thirst
to a challis of your own device
when he brings it to his lips
please allow him
to nurture his hunger
on the lavish banquets
of your love
on the sweet sentiments
heralded
by the poems of your heart

I could not let this poem slip without tell you that the metaphors you used in this piece of work were outstanding.  I really enjoyed this poem.

I declare Steven, you just unravel them better and better with each new write. (putting this in the library)
