A knock so soft to catch the ear
and bring a start to one’s own soul.
A knock upon the door to say
I wait, I wait till thrice bell tolls.

Evening paints a lazy moon
and brings a gift of passion’s light.
Smiling in wait of your answer
as clouds drape the orb of our night.

Was not for the moment my dear
when my heart beat ever so strong
in the fleeting thought of capture
to ravish and love the night long.

I bring to you my lustful heart
and wine to free the timid mind.
I give to you a chance to feel
a potter’s hands gentle and kind.

Within these hands a mold shall form
a gift so treasured soft and fair.
As touch does sculp of warming flesh,
lips share a taste from vintage rare.

Till light does take the moon to bed
and dark does crawl away once more.
I’ll lie silent and gently shed
a tear not blue beyond the door.
