Cosmic Messenger

 

Formless voices

Spoken seductively

Breath dewy with sweet fluids

Enchanting music

Swirl about the air

In colored puffs

Touching deliriously

Upon her mind

The hand of desire

Stroking chestnut hair

And supple skin

A cosmic messenger

Rushing in

Rushing out

Giving

Then stealing away

His magic

To search the universe

For exotic pleasures

For mistrusted paradise

Leaving behind

Another bewitched butterfly

Of his mystic nights

Wings drawn tight

Protecting precious visions

Of enchantment

Of desire

To spread her wings

Around this

Cosmic messenger.
