Perilous Jewel



The industry of nature catches sunlight

in its glistened trap.

Like a choker necklace strung

in temporary displacement,

alluring in its nakedness,

enticing the eye.


In its siren siege of senses,

I would adorn you in its lace.

If I could translate its delicacy

I would lay its ornament

upon your neck

and possess

you in its entrapment.


This is not a web

spent by an anonymous spider

overnight by starlight.

This is the dangerous

and perilous

crafting of jewel

to ambush

imagination and passion.


I would lay its ornament

upon your neck.
