[the Writing of Kuypers]    [JanetKuypers.com]    [Bio]    [Poems]    [Prose]


Mesmerizing

the tapestry
intricate
elegant
alluding to
oriental pleasures

the curtains
hanging
draping
dripping in royal
shades of indigo

the candles
flickering
pulsing
causing the shadows
to do their sex dance

the jewels
shimmering
shining
drenched in golden splendor

incense
igniting the air
as garlands
of gilded chimes
echo a
mesmerizing melody

ascend the beauty
capture the moment
before the candles
burn out
and the light
is gone
