The potency of your apothegms
Drapes my darkness in regalia.
I grope your hazel eyes
In a mutually appreciative gaze.
I am tatterdemalion,
A leopardess in a nun’s habit.
I am alone in a room
Full of sidling,
Skull-faced strangers.
Elixirs of light, prisms of sound
You are my luminary
The swell of azure
Under a cavalcade of stars.

I really love the description of “groping” someone’s eyes–wow, yes; and “elixirs of light”, and “prisms of sound” are my other faves.
Thank you so much XD
Most welcome.
Yet you did it!
I did but I may have sprained something lol
That’s the first time I’ve heard of someone spraining something while writing poetry. 🙂
Very seductive yet haunting. It makes me read it in a very distinct voice that I am unfamiliar with.
Thanks baldybeard!
A leopardess in a nun’s habit gave me a bit of a giggle:)
XD
Liked it! Cavalcade is a new word for me.
Thanks I am glad =)
a leopardess in a nuns habit, what a contradiction eh?
Those last three lines are quite enduring, especially after the grit
that precedes it.
Thanks so much X!
Brilliant and stunning… I am feeling very tatterdemalion, and eager to chug a few elixirs of light… 🙂

hehe thank you so much Michael!
It might have been tough, but this line: Drapes my darkness in regalia. Stunning!
Thanks Laura!
This reminds me of a book I read of a small group of Nuns on an island that were lost in time…
Just attempting to see light where ever and when ever they could.
That sounds like an interesting book Jules!
I wasn’t sure I’d be able to find it…but I did:
