SPECTROPHILIA
SPECTROPHILIA
(congressus subtilis
cum
vas spirituale)
Multitude of angels escalloping opal eyelids
with silver-throated trumpets
banishing the hemorrhage of the ever-shifting pageantry;
dolorous phantasms of a candle’s amber radiance
dancing tempestively on an iridescent thumbnail...
Unwavering.
Perfumed rose-gold flame of a luxurious night unrolling:
encharmed, prismatic flame resolving itself with autoerotic sorcery
into an alabaster countenance diademed against a tapestry of jeweled starlight.
Austere beauty, virginal purity
with the delicate lineaments ephemeral like a thurible’s ghostly arabesques.
Sapphires of furtive passion gazing at he breathing the saintly fragrance,
those modest eyes kindled
while returning caresses in the glittering stellar drift.
Folds of embroidery fallen in midnight blue fretted with starry gold,
Curves of ivory rapture upon the desert’s engilded sand.
Roseate breasts a-spread while kissing her honey-sweet flesh,
Fingers in coppery tangles spreading empurpled wings divine.
Amorous ecstasies on a harlequin lionskin in the impearled black,
Gemmed love-spasms ‘neath the palm-jetted moonrise.
Climaxing with the Nativity of the vision’s harvest,
Stainless aspiration to father the scepter of treasured hearts.
