Passionate Evening

Can you feel my eyes of amber fire?
As they dwell adoringly upon your face

Can you hear my heart?
As she aches for your sweet lips to touch my skin

Cloud-shadows cast my tortured desires across your soul
Swarming in lyrical silence about your heart

Enter my temple, my dearest Love
And warm yourself by my fire

I lay back and retreat into the intricacies of my mind
Drifting far across a turbulent sea
Swept away by waves of delightful sensations

Our passions stretch out, filled with small noises
Throwing out fans of tenderness
They dance before us, weaving desire and longing into our blood
Dwelling like spirits within us
Melting in and out of the crystal pools in our eyes
Making us as one

I softly stroke your dark hair
As you cherish my breasts with gentle kisses
Your lust inside me now and always

Moving my lips close to your ear
My breath whispers a gentle and persuasive song
A seductive murmur secretly caressing your spirit

You fall under the enchantment of my charm-song
Your  passions are mine

Your adoring eyes catching the brilliance of the starlight
Splintering into a thousand tint gleams
Showering my soul

Our lovemaking now ended
I go outside and greet the morning sun
Moving my hands idly across my body
I stare unseeing at the sky newly streaked with red
The brilliant display thrown up by the dawn leaving me breathless

I draw in a long breath and hold it until my head ceases to roar and
Discover my heart has finally found peace

I can still savor the threads of my passion
Still lingering in the corners of my mind
Long after you've gone
