SATIN PILLOW
Satin pillow
Not empty words on satin pillows
Not empty words on satin pillows
nor clouds of smoke among the billows
those calligraphic turns of phrase
do choke my heart to win its praise
for casting out my love,
dashing down the dove
shot by sense's undefined and cruel
while we loved and had such fire, the fuel
for chariots of flames engrossed
when fidelity lay uppermost
in my mind's thoughts
and now the wheels of feelings nought
your spirit dampened, dulled and dashed
as when you slashed across my moat
into the inner sanctuary
the one, that now is smote.
Oh betrayal is a foul word
with terror in its throat
your silvered voice absurd
when listened to by rote,
such repetition breathed
such false derision now bereaved
I lie now contemplating dreams
that are now suddenly bequeathed
by chance, your love now wreathed.
