Veils

The Devil flashed
a thunderous grin
as I plucked you
from the lost and found
under the mask of
black iron stillness
your thoughts split open
into cracks of 
gentle touches
words spilled out 
waterfalls of longing
kisses of poets who 
write eternally in
sacred dimensions
found is the home
of your arms
I never knew I misplaced
