alabaster

a staid figure waits:
who shall pass
the confines of this-
a place where only
hollow promises engage
the lustful hours
passed in satin
on alabaster skin-
one who dreams of
worlds beyond these
gilded columns
left to wonder patiently
time passes without notice
to those without desire

A wonderful poem in alabaster tones! The truth of the matter is often cold and hard - but the imagination allows the lies to warm the thoughts.
