Layers


Loves lost layers are peeled back
No soft embrace of the hand; but torn
For each wrap is a relief to open a kiss
So take this gift and taste my origins
Cherry chocolate and butterfly tenderness
To wind across your senses like a serpent
That unravels its coils on the full moon
In a sky painted in crimson and black


Twitter version - I've been experimenting which is fun because you're only allowed a limited number of characters but lots of lines. The verse below is the maximum number of characters allowed.

Loves lost layers
Are peeled
To open a kiss
Butterfly tenderness
Floods across senses
Like a serpent
On a full moon
In a crimson sky
