Clamors to Rival

Light so dark,
the candle's glow --
a hissing arrow.

Its target, a single print
of lips on a sweating
silver cup.

Alone, the night speaks --
settling dust clamors to
rival the faint dashing of
lashes upon my pillow.

Oh, thief of hearts --
steal away these hours.
Love, return to me her lips --
let the strength of her breast
swell upon my bare back.
In the tangle of her limbs,
let me live and die.

A most exotic and erotic piece. Well done.
