The Kiss Of Dark…

'twas a dream, this I know
but be it then, thus be it so
he came upon me in dark of night
and with a kiss, held me tight

'neath his fervored hand was wrought
the devil's touch as he sought
the nape of neck as hid by cowl
and in the dark, screeched the owl

O the words were soft of promise
and dark eyes did then unite us
a taste of love 'twas all he wanted
but his kiss has left me haunted

O, my Count, do not leave thy side
'tho 'tis in dream you do abide
and in the daylight you shall hide
but in the dark, we shall fly…

yes, very dark, but very captivating.

over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""

Wow what dreams you must have.
Bet you can't wait for the dark of night.
