Bruises

Bruises  

 

Although she wears them now  

Discreetly  

Beneath the black lace and her   

Ray Ban\'s  

Each one of them might  

Tell a story   

Of lust, of longing and of journeys    

 

Oh\' yes ..    

 

Those famous black grape   

Blue contusions  

Surely   

The sweetest of all solemn bruises   

Just waiting to be  

Found by new and curious disciples  

Who each  

In turn and time might well one day

Become .. if chosen   

Sincere and the most considerate of lovers ...
