Purpling Dawn

Purpling dawn
Filtering through
Shredded sheer curtains
Then onto you

The way it cuts through the room
Leaving nowhere
For shadows to remain
We can now share our shame

Tethered and tenderly
Arrested in this dungeon cell

Confusing, ethereal
So immaterial
Pursuing thoughts
Leave you all alone
Waltz through the fog

Dancing through darkness
My palace doors
Open wide
Tethered and tenderly
Arrested in this dungeon cell
Confusing, ethereal

It’s all that I can do
To keep from laughing at myself
When I think of you
Think of you
You
