A night to remember, a past to forget

Street-lights softly fall in an incandescent glow

My city is alive with motion and voices far below            

 Above the din-- we dance away the evening

Our hearts light with the joy of reminiscing

 Like a dream I’m holding you tight in stocking feet

Strawberry wine on your breath smells temptingly sweet

 You the unreachable one; goddess of time and space

For so long living in gilded clouds beyond my embrace   

 Soft music plays in chords of harmonic rhapsody    

 But we move in time to an old familiar melody

 Until passion takes hold of my hardened desire       

 You stop for a breathe, snicker at my bulging fire

Playfully pondering the view-- you       

 Suddenly loosen the reigns of your loyal virtue;

Swiftly as doves it flies away to the heavens

 Our destiny sealed in the scrolls of lesser gods

Gone are thoughts of sin and reputations lost

  We move to the beat of consummation’s chords   

  Garments of shame, discarded and abandoned

Joy is the touch of your warm subtle skin on my skin     

  Coated with the fragrance of honeysuckle in the wind

Your subtle breasts pull me like a cherished sin

  Taunt nipples, teasing-- you’re mine and eyes can’t see        

   As you guide me inside your silken walls of rhapsody
