Aditus' prompts and circumstances - 29. Poetry 10 - Italian Sonnet: Dream 2.0
Dream 2.0
The red door dares me to come closer still,
to touch its handle, press down, step inside,
although its color screams entry denied,
I cannot resist the lure, and the thrill.
Fingers on icy cold brass feel the chill,
as my need to know and my fear collide,
I pull back my hand, but my feet abide,
and instinct to flee fights unbending will.
The door flies open, warmth invites me in,
all I can see is a flickering fire.
Shadows dance on your luminescent skin,
then you smile and the flames become higher.
They told me you are the cardinal sin,
but I came back my beloved sire.
