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!
