My life is bitter with thy love; thine eyes
Blind me, thy tresses burn me, thy sharp sighs
Divide my flesh and spirit with soft sound,
And my blood strengthens, and my veins abound.
I pray thee sigh not, speak not, draw not breath;
Let life burn down, and dream it is not death.
— Swinburne

Noon

5thapsara 

The eclipse and glowing whisper at

The edge of her brave vibration glitter

Her blouse clinging at the rise

Half laughing half in the first

Flush of her full circle

Casual Secret Still

Yet intriguingly transparent

In the strong electric wave and

Crackle that comes with her

Sideways turn in passing

Unlocking

The sweet complications involved

With me getting into her car

Wordless Fearless Flawless Weary

Steeled and Paled

The great being becoming herself

Damply gleaming

Goddess of so many attributes

Wet haired at noon
