Scented Sheets and Darkened Doorways
 
 
 
 
 

the aroma of erotic fantasies lived in scented sheets

sometimes viewed through a darkened doorway...

the myriad of players continually being replaced

while the scented sheets still remained...unchanged

     
 
 
     

they divulged their fantasies as if they had invented them

as they invaded the hot night with sweet perfumed bodies

that turned to sweat...and through the darkened doorway...

dim reflections of pleasure gave way to the aura of passion

 
 
 
 
 
 

love once fueled their fantasies...but its essence was diluted

by the acrid scent of betrayal in pursuit of insatiable desires...

and now the darkened doorway has become an unveiled portal

for the stale sweet incense of love's burnt offerings to drift away

on a cool breeze of reflection...while scented sheets still remain...

unchanged
