OBLIVION

Written for Tovli's 10/40 word challenge

 

 

 

 

Perfume lingers like a melody

summer’s splendid grace

 

flowing sweet and tender

the presence of Venus

oblivion

gathers in her arms purer lives

 

seen through a glass sky

serene hearts of two lovers

singing the merciful

prayers of Solomon’s Songs ~

 

 

~~~
