The enchanting arms of the night
holding me close
the way you did back then
unveiling depths of passion
while the warm breath
of ebony winds
runs his fingers
through moonlight hair
as a voyeur
secretly peeks
behind the silkin web of seduction
listening to your whisper words
slither and crawl over my skin
kissing celibate lips
invisible ink promises
tattooed upon my memory
an image of you embraces
the cleavage of the night.

Last line was a good one, Victoria. It was a perfect way to end this very sensuous poem as a matter of fact. I like this poem. It is a little different than I've seen you pen before.

Loved it...wouldn't call it "dark" particularly... love the pic too, which bespeaks "thrill of life", and not a dark one either.

More of a dark romance I guess. Thanks again Jimmy, and for peeking in.
