Satin Petals
Satin Petals are my mask
each time I come to thee,
a shroud to cloud your eyes,
a veil I didn’t think you could see.
But my mask is just a ruse,
an aspect of my game.
It hides me behind the fiction of my name.
That name is but a symbol.
of the role I play – it’s not me,
it’s a promise unfulfilled,
a hope of what will never be.
Removing all between us,
Clothed only in my true name,
my touch is not an illusion.
as it sets your heart and loin aflame.
A mirage within a dream,
A ghost of fragile youth,
I am fantasy. And fire.
And muse born of truth.
Satin petals are to me
my veil, my delicate mask –
Concealing what I see,
revealing what you ask.
