Resident mockery

Give us an hour for magic

We of the purple glove

We of the starling flight and velvet hour

We of arabic pleasure's breed

We of sundome and the night

Give us a creed

To believe

A night of Lust

Give us trust in

The Night

Give of color

Hundred hues

A rich Mandala

For me and you

And for your silky

Pillowed house

A head, wisdom

And a bed

Troubled decree

Resilent mockery

Has claimed thee

We used to believe

In the good old days

We still receive

In little ways

The Things of Kindness

And unsporting brow

Forget and allow
