A blank canvas captured
hues of black & white
hidden shadows of sinewy silhouettes
Preening dancers seducing drunken partners
in wild embrace entwined in circling vines
Entranced in rap fusion
amidst mooning soliloquies
Black satin reduced to single threads
Ripping onyx strands
his new found freedom reached tempestuous heights
like voodoo spells invoking evil all night long
exploring the Devil’s paradise
by a flickering fireplace
The night was young
even at dawn
Her faithful black hound
gate crashed inside the fence
White chiffon rustled past virgin lilies
Summer clouds turned claustrophobic
Rotten images had tarnished her virtuous home
Spotless white cushions lay ravaged
by vagaries of a sordid night
Stepping across the cold marble floor
her pearly white skin turned pale
Toxic brew like emotions
seared through her being
leaving a taste of rowan berries
A bleeding heart caught him red handed
adding the only splash of bright colour
to the picture
The wife returned to a maelstrom
she once called Home.
