For The Weekend



dverse...a conceit


the young fresh rose
soft petal'd and blush pink
has captured the desire
of the bruised
ardent horse stinger
knotting strands of gold
around her long elegant stem

after courtship
chaperoned by a gaggle
of black geese and hunters
she adorns white tulle and lace






pins herself to his lapel
till death do they part

    Understated but sensually so. (It was either a very short courtship or a very persistent bruise.)

    It was love and innocence .... for both it was murdered by the evil of men.

    Watch the movies ... there are few better!
