Petals prance upon swaying stem,
bending to wind's will with
a gentle surrender;
sighing in silence,
a come hither seduction
of love's name,
as wishes wilt in wait
of gold dusted dreams dying
leaving ashen remains
to lie in an unmarked grave.

Killing me here, or over there, yonder
where fingers wait in a mytical pondering,
for veil to lift and off she spins
me holding silk to shed her secret....
