Tempestuous Tide/Timorous Time



Tempestuous tide;timorous time

Pleasure has gone away w/ pleasure-preaching

bride

tempestuous tide;alaknanda night

nightingales cry by the pull of the eastern
 tide;time and tide do not try the wings of

the dying butterflies

arti comes around w/ big,black eyes

so deep,so wide;so exotic,so unkind!

tears trickle down my anguish-eaten insomniac

eyes witnessing her satin-shawl tossing,

turning love rhymes

tempestuous tide;alive she cried deep in the

night feeling the pangs of pleasure betwix

her thighs;she let me touch her,bleed her

near and wide

then suddenly the sky opened up showering

shame,faithlessness upon my bride

whiskey,champagne see,shake,sigh catching the

pride of alaknanda behind her unkind eyes!
