Love’s alchemy kiln
Spectral vapors blaze
Her poised indifference an innocent plea
His sightless delirium increasing percent.
Resigned to believe, in memories film
Her shapeshift allure roils a spectral sea
His leaden command rises favor
A morphic breed suspended in torment.
Plum deep cadmium flowing bright
Ecstasy delayed and bliss denied
Emission occurs his eyes roll back
Her spawn emits aureolae light.
