Whispers, fleeting
turn to Serenades
As bodies cascade
Across Velvet
And silk
until
Light of the afterglow
Ever Ethereal
Reveals an Enigma
Encoded with
a Labyrinth
of anxious minds,
ever antagonizing
Disquiet hearts

Throne of the Beast
“Lock and load.” Knight One’s command echoed through his helmet, drowning out the helo’s thumping engines. Knight Two sat across from him, his mechanical gloves thumbing the safety on his oversized auto shotgun clad in etched black metal. Knight Four scoffed silently, his face obscured by the jet-black helmet. An uncivilized weapon for an uncivilized man. There are already enough of those in this godless world. Two always seemed unsettling, like a big frothing dog in a constant internal struggle of, “Should I bite or hump my master?” It was no wonder Callsign General loved Two, even if Callsign Archbishop barely tolerated him. One was the Archbishop's girl.

I felt sad - all that sensuality and passion and then uncertainty. Moments where (and I'm not punning, I swear), things come together and harmonise and then, it's like a searchlight is shone and insecurity appears. Made me thoughtful. Which is good.
Wow, such a passionate description gifted in a love poem. Great delivery.
I loved this, so beautiful.
