Through a Tangle of Shadows

Neville

Through a Tangle of Shadows

 

Through a tangle of shadows

I would watch and I would wait

 

Her silence first seduced me

Then served merely to castrate

 

With tongue placed firmly in her cheek

She burnt her candles black and cream

 

With no purpose but to feign obscenities

To control, confound and confuse

 

Then before she left

She made me kneel and bow and kiss

 

The yellow tinge

Around the edges of her bruise

          Shadows veer imagination toward the forbidden at times and these beguiling lines have a touch of hidden erotic that leaves a tangle of what, where and why in my curious mind - - - you conjour excitement with veritable ease mon ami.................

                A tangled web your words have woven
                Try as much, understand the mystery of words chosen
                Not ashamed to admit, yellow tinge has me confused
                As far as the verse itself, has me totally amused

                • Neville

                  thank you Suresh... N
