#LaceChallenge by Deidre Meyrick

fractal

fields of gold surround him

blue sky up above

plumes of white shift and form

dancing shapes of cotton fuzz

he drifts to sleep

on dreams of forbidden love

of blazing eyes with fiery gaze

a touch that make him blush

then come the tears

hot drops fall to pepper his skin

arousing him from slumber

to awaken the incubus within

cracks and booms sound their call

as gods battles for what was theirs

the sun wavers as referee

electricity rides the air

he stands amid the open field

arms outstretched and bare

rivulets of raindrops meander to the ground

he closes his eyes

submitting without impair

a blinding flash of the brightest white

and by zeus he is once more claimed

a new lace mark etched upon his skin

a love affair renewed, his heart again enslaved
