Through Spired Shade

There, a glint

Through spired shade

Emerging

A winsome eye

Bright and unafraid

Between ridges

Of vicious spines

In a slim curtain

Of lemon light

Sunset festering

Exhausted day

Beginning to fade

In his aurulent

Lizard gaze

An Illusory Beauty

Spills a drop of rain

Sizzles and evaporates

Like our memories

Pollen-faced, blue eyes

Smothered in Sun-baked flowers

When light vanishes

Palm fronds bend and sough

Listen for the gale

Ears filling with feral winds

Menacing welkin

An Illusory Beauty

Like the Oleander Moth

Quickly melts away
