Of whims and indulgence
August 31, 2007
From neither malice,
nor that which is bitter,
to embrace the chalice,
catch a spirit set aglitter.
Not of payback,
nor of anything cruel,
to chase a whiff of lilac,
grasp the elegance, an alluring jewel.
Not of the wicked,
nor a place of spite,
to clasp a wild orchid,
or unchain the night.
