Black Lace

br />twirls and curls

intricately meshed

dark lattice

concealing a treasure within;

mere surface cover

for what it can reveal,

I see, knowing

something more lies beneath.

It holds my attention

as my fingers are caught,

my hands are met

by a pleasant surprise,

confirming my deepest hopes,

and obliging the best

of my imagination. GPL 10/10/11
