If beauty is Noble, What has Love Tailored

In the beginning,
I careen my heart with civvies of awe.
I do not wish for silence to stitch my lips,
Beauty is an aria,
its refrain noble,
Yet love designs imaginary apparels.
The loom of my soul hums with the throe of creation,
it tugs at my meaning,
dyes it with longing,
each fibril is a ribbon —
scarlet for desire,
indigo for dreams,
Yet the pattern remains in the making.
I Merengue upon the textile of my thoughts,
a rhythm of joy and desperation coiled,
the scents of patchouli, sandalwood,
vetiver, and pheromones,
hum of memories,
for what has love tailored in the shadows?
By the oath the music of the winds make,
by the orchestra that lives in a Lover's sigh
my heart,
a quiet gizmo waits for its maestro,
play the ditty that love has composed.
