Mag 33

Somewhere along my blog wanderings, I came across Magpie Tales, a blog that hosts writing prompts & links.  This week's prompt is this picture of a popular, upscale Italian fragrance from the 1930's - if Google is correct:)  Gazing at this picture brought to mind the next image (also found in my wanderings from Magic Moonlight) & together they formed:

Drops on pulse points

Hint of cathedrals and wine

A sharpened gaze under a nightsky

If I peel mosaic layers

Will you see

beyond the moonsplash on the arches and stairs

Or will you see crumbled stone

Concrete blocks of bone

Will you see lips, eyes, flesh

An artist's brush and awl

Or will you hear the aria in my spiritsong

Will my banner of shimmery stars

and lightrays fly

or will you raise your own

overshadowing all
