Image for the poem Of scarlet rapture: I

Of scarlet rapture: I'm that woman

 
I ache for that which is unattainable
and far above the clouds the air is dangerously thin.
Easterly winds breathe a lover's sigh
that echoes through sunbaked canyons.
They chisel away at the mightiest of stones
leaving behind dusty runes
to be erased by passings of time.

The Spanish sunset is a vivid paragon in bloom,
and although my hands are cold and empty,
my heart beats like desert rhythms.
Only through my tears can
the colors be more complex,
the augmented reflections of passion
returning ashes to flame.

Fall of night casts a net
of stars upon my soul
and I swing my bare feet recklessly
over the sheer edge of desire.
