Night For Two



Night For Two

Night undresses the light
As day takes its leave
Everything we know
Becomes invisible
Except for us
Our ravenous bodies
Insatiable against each other
Transform our colors
Into silent absence
Revealing we two
Naked and not ashamed.

Our aroma in nude
Unveils our raw, pure beauty
Our muscles and skin
Come alive in the dark
Our shadows
Surrender our rays
In exchange as echoes
Vibrancy and subtlety
Erupts in rapture
Diminishing dark tones
Into sublime music.

Night is our arousal
From slumber darkness
Revealing our desire
Hungry and thirsty
Longings for touch and affection
Lovers eager to celebrate
Soirées of sensual bliss
Sheer beauty swimming in kisses
Unraveling our bodies
Glowing freely
In nocturnal abandon.
