The Conservatory

Ghost
dream haunting,
teasing, tempting, elusive.
Koi.
Dives
depths unknown
memories untold, hidden
Deep.
Pure
flying, cloud
leading into cavernous
shade.

Absinthe driven
phantasmagoria
controlled by onyx
eyed protection.
Poinsetta poison river
flowing;
pomegranate flesh walls
pulsating.
Venoms ooze from
ice pick stalactites.

Shades
engulfing
sightlessness, emptying love's
Urn.
Lead
the lover
from misery; ecstasy
Pierce.
Koi
blessing life,
swimming sweetly; eternal
Ghost.
