Infatuation
Flutter, flutter, you are the utter
romance of the breath.
A fibrillation of intent upon your object,
heaven sent:
beauty in its pure incantation.
Flutter, flutter,
a trembled breath...
the feather fringed eyelashes' fluttered moment sent,
an image in the mind
carried through a river in the eyes,
waxed wild and wide
for shooting sparks to fly inside..
The hostage is entrained:
“(She is beauty and divine,
what is chief is she be mine.)”
Do angels chortle (but jealously)
when imbibing what they see?
Or admonish clumsily:
Don't you know that,
beauty's breast heaves up
as heaven's trend,
but then falls down
as earth's revenge?
Flutter, flutter, you are the
drenched or dried up longings of the heart.
What reigns instead behind a queen's
departure.
Though time betrays all but the memory
of the once fresh and young.
Beauty will cause this flutter to flutter, by and by
the newly aching heart.

Flutter, flutter, you are the

Flutter, flutter,
a trembled breath,
the fern feathered eyelashes' fluttered moment went.
It tricked the eye to believe
it let sparkles fly.
So while beauty's breast heaves up
as heaven's trend it then
falls down again as earth's revenge.
Flutter, flutter, you are the
five fingers of my heart.
What reigns instead behind a queen's
departure.
For as time betrays all
but the memory of the once fresh and young,
beauty will cause this flutter, to flutter, now
the newly aching heart.
