redhot
when the sun gives it up and night's curtain falls
i surrender to scarlet
it's then that i summon the ghosts of desire
thoughts too distracting for daylight are freed from their cages
i taste once again the hot blood of lovers
whose fingerprints live in my brain
unseen tattoos that glow
incandescent
constructing catenae of pleasures remembered
and when i am sated
i fall into bed sleep in the caul of alone
recharging for the coming of the cardboard day

The moon shines in the window of the Victorian study at historic Miramont Castle in Manitou Springs, Colorado. Can Sherlock Holmes be far behind?

The beautiful poetry accompanying this artwork is much suited to it, Gina.. or perhaps it's the other way around..; or perhaps best to say both are poetical works, both warmly intense .. softly dramatic .. & ultimately satisfying:))
RC DeWinter replied:
The art comes first, Connie, and is the prompt for the poetry, I'm glad you enjoy both, thank you.
Randy Burns
Your works do me the same way. I can imagine it being chilly outside and then being so cozy in this luscious environment. Love the mood. Nostalgic. F/L
RC DeWinter replied:
If you ever have an opportunity to visit Miramont you should. I am sure its antiquity would inspire you. Thanks, Randy.
