Illicit Flights

Illicit Flights

Shadows lay alike and birds in mirrored flight

Indicate the trysts and meets of illicit delight.

The encounters traversed to a different shore

Occurrences oft repeated come to the fore.

Images reflect that they are in true facsimile

Revealing that truth to be seen so explicitly.

With aspirations aimed for the coming day

Of separate flights to a town on southern bay.

There no oranges or apple blossoms do bloom

Or waves gathering on that new shore to boom.

To the place where there blows no notable wind

Where repeated intrigue pass without rescind. 

Hidden in the calm visage of congenial notability

Are these acts of an individual’s secret duplicity.

Spirit's Demise

Spirit’s Demise 

He set to beguile her spirit with worthless words of radiant soft assurance,

Hiding his inconstant mutable heart so well couched in words of charm,

Slicing out her spirit’s soul assuredly as if he had used a jagged knife,

With the facile adulteress in tow he achieves her broken soul’s destruction,

Thrusting her into ceaseless interminable pain for her spirit's death is done.

He and the paramour go on lustfully on in triumph of the spirit’s death, 

Rejoicing in intermittent  infidelities bound deep up in travelled secrets,

The promise for that sad spirit will forever cease life’s quiet contemplation,

The circuitous route to one soul’s destruction exceedingly well done,

They will carry on in lust cuckolding the incognisant steadfast bridegroom.
