The colour of rapture




You inspire me
but I can't penetrate 

the marble effigy of your ghost
In the same way that I can't importune
the breath of your veil
To shake your bud
And perturb the dew
To take your shoes off
And your shirt
See through your glaze
And feel your heart beating
Inspired by your teasing
The waft of your skirt
Continually peeking
I Persist till it hurts
Raspberry, raspberry, raspberry ripples
The colour of rapture
As mossy as nipples
You inspire me so much
So much That I bleed
As Shakespeare said
If you afflict me
Do I not need?
