come not to me, O golden winged dawn
your upturned plum dungeonous clouds a sotto voce of last night
its fragrance the firelit curves I oiled into spirits of candled glowing flesh
the sheet of cotton like vast fields an ardor of wild birds
no mad winds of a sky blushing soft rain could
gather well, nor the seasplashed soul of anysleek seathing’s dream
flung from mountaintops' vibratos lowing your pirate’s blues
its lipstick adventures slid along pillows
like flames through dark rubies the curtains in excitable breezes wept
the cottage window’s releases
golden bourbon moans
through flashes of Rembrandt curves
and the fat owl bounced and nodded to a shadowy willow-struck moon
come not to me, O golden winged dawn a sotto voce
only she is the subtle curve wisped in cotton’s roils
its valleys like meadows and ribald lakes in storms
upon my bed of long and reminiscing creases, only she can
glow the chants of orchids to covetous awakening riots
and whip naked in wind, flinging dew from her hips,
it wants no flight from her skin, clings
there are rare wines in this world,
no need is there for mortals to love truly mere gods
only she can anchor my sorrow or alleviate my joy
but you may remain, if you wish, or go back to where you came from
return again, if you dare, to paint away the night, so then and inspire
in us as our applause another encore wanton
bring not to me, o golden winged dawn
your upturned plum dungeonous clouds a sotto voce of last night
O foolish clownish jealous sky

I could be wrong but the picture that was drawn for me, other than pure sexual bliss, was that his foray from the night before was not the love of his life: a love that was not in his life any longer.
