sensual shadows
drink a purpling moon
teasing dull silken glimmer
from scarves in their dance
along aubergine hollows
of candlelit thighs
softly flickering
fragrant with passion’s ablution
demure glints from peridot eyes
heighten moments
then falter and fade
receding beneath
the dim surface of time
in weak torture of
reconciled memory

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

Cheers Paul. Touch wood getting much better. I found that after weeks consulting the medics the accidental sploshing of neat shampoo in the eye while showering triggered the improvement!

I love the images of shades of purple and jewels. They reflect the magenta sky and the moon.
