Layers
of Gold
by Saulander Evans © 2006
Time all her own
Rummaging through rooms once barred, now
Unlocked and unforgotten. Bygone days revisited
Transform life into an aura of oneness its
Healing power beyond measure, granting the
Sanctity of individuality and freedom.
Answering to no one except herself and
No longer oppressed. Wake in the Netherlands
Dual benefit, both wild and circumspect.
Familiar baggage left elsewhere knock twice
Reach and grasp for the touch of class
Introspective sophistication momentarily set aside
Enumerated desires youth’s resilient diamond
Nested with maturity’s sensuality play abounds.
Destined for heights and depths unreachable until now the
Summit of Everest, treasure trove within the frothy oceans.
Wreak trimmers from the fissure and within the cavern
Instantaneously triggering
Tantalizing shine up and down the cavern’s entrance
Harried and hot the natural spring bubbles.
Beneath the surface ready to pop
Emphatically eliciting carnal pursuit, followed
Not by condemnation but acceptance of need
Enjoyed and shared, and still understands it returns later to
Friendship, colleagues, respect of the art and craft
Into which they both strive to excel to greatness
Together as friends and yet apart from partnership; in
Support of each other’s talent and goals.
Simultaneous truths and friends with benefits
Successfully produce multitudinous layers of gold.
Enveloped with gilded paper and camaraderie until they’re old.
