Click hereI sit in camouflaged desire,
repressing fevered whirlwinds,
becoming shade as you require.
To dim the violent purple fire
dilute until it’s crystalline,
and wait in camouflaged desire.
Add grey to brazen red’s attire;
suppress her strut in softer skins,
in paler shades, as you require.
Hush the lute, and stow the lyre,
dampen strings on violins.
I’ll listen, and conceal desire.
I’ll paint with words that you inspire
disguised in shrouds of discipline
and faded, as your needs require.
Awaiting signals, I retire,
patient in the blues I’ve thinned.
I wait in camouflaged desire
a paler red than you require.

LeBrozover 17 years agoA pleasant read in which the poet manages to work both rhythm and rhyme;
Has a sing-song quality which makes it a special pleasure to read aloud.
Maria2394almost 20 years agoI cannot believe I havent read this before!! I thought I had devoured everything you ever posted on here. this is wonderful, especially the last stanza. I love your work Cordelia, and the fact that you do not post often makes these even more appreciated :)
