Rose without acanth
Of a love’s softness unpierced
But secret dangers
Red stilettos pair
On backstreet cobblestones click
Meeting of lovers
Wisteria parts
Opened floral curtain door
Set corner table
Absinthe awaits kiss
Beware its false possession
Trickster cocktail strong
Whispers I love you
But warnings of winds and cold
Raven sees stirring
Tuxedoed lover
Danger a deceitful tale
Fool’s gold diamond set
Not logical love
Retrieved a crumpled parchment
Wrinkles pressed unfold
Flaws firm accepted
But corvid’s warning repeat
Voice of thorn careless
Caution danger here
A past’s thistle sting secret
Hidden betrayal
Maddening disguise
Triangles befuddle
Isoceles hex
To hexagon spell
Indiscretions’ clumsy spills
Hurricane feelings
