Desire

Why do I seek

your lithe
full body

frozen
blue eyes

and sublime, strawberry lips?

For the same
obscure reason

an obsessive
wealthy adventurer

is horribly dismembered
on an uncharted desert island

by ghastly-robed natives
during primitive, dark-night sacrifice

while his glazed, green eyes
remain stoically fixed

on the fire-lit object of his insane quest...

A scintillate diamond
the size of a clenched fist
