prisms in your palms (a sonnet)

By hate_doll

Apparitions only seen in sepia dreams
Manifest in between the creases of your palm
Neon-headed angels seducing in hues of saffron and creams
The senses linger on a moment too long
Sheparded by the sharp thrill of a heartbeat quickened
Restless and wild they dance in the folds of flesh
Racing themselves to a quick end
A smile graces the landscape and overshadows the rest
Quixotic toxins shot thru a crystal hourglass
Illuminating the angels naked, phosphorescent
Iridescent breasts and eyes a sorceress would possess
Fingers hung by twilight and moon crescents
These specters controlled by your distraction
Otherwise known as the muses of your passion

    "These specters controlled by your distraction/ Otherwise known as the muses of your passion" Those lines really defined this piece in my mind. Awesome. Write the hell on.

    an incredible menagerie of flowing images and vivid sensuality, blended together in such a form it leaves a linger dust of colourific fire...intense and serene, simultaneously.

    *sits down and looks around* I would like to stay here very much I agree with Col its unusual but sensual and beautiful, it was a coil around your heart that tightened. I'm glad I took the time to read your piece, it was heart softening~Gothic
