Desire
Desire
The night awakens and yearns
Darkness closes in like lovers entwined
Layers of silk unfold and are discarded
Music drifts faintly on the breeze
Candlelight plays with the shadows on the walls
Voices whisper like the flicker of the flame
Sighs moan; softly echoing to each corner
Sheets ruffle gracefully with movement
Bodies move in rhythm like dancers
Heat rises; spreading like a mist over the mountain
The air drinks as if it is thirsty not to be sated
Desire is the soul’s gift
The night awakens and yearns
Darkness closes in like lovers entwined
Layers of silk unfold and are discarded
Music drifts faintly on the breeze
Candlelight plays with the shadows on the walls
Voices whisper like the flicker of the flame
Sighs moan; softly echoing to each corner
Sheets ruffle gracefully with movement
Bodies move in rhythm like dancers
Heat rises; spreading like a mist over the mountain
The air drinks as if it is thirsty not to be sated
Desire is the soul’s gift
