Envious Eyes
Night dons a sequenced shawl,
sparkling with trillions of stars, like cosmic candles;
twinkling within the blackness.
And a golden moon gleams like
a precious bobble mirrored on a placid lake;
where gilded ripples dance to the sound of applauding waves.
Vampire shadows, clinging to shifting silhouettes,
gorge on remnants of blood-red clouds;
as liquid ebony inks every crag and crevice.
Darkness descends like a curtain;
creatures of the night frolicking within its folds.
And sparkling shooting stars unzip the seams of space;
martyrs to beauty, plunging to their death.
Aa a scarlet sun slowly sinks;
its last light encapsulates lovers entangled in the night.
And passion sets the air afire;
as electrifying sparks of euphoric bliss,
summon spontaneous wishes.
An emotional trance, out of phase with time;
invites innocence to sup at the table of love.
And intimate feelings are shared and explored;
afloat in sensual waters.
A phantasmagorical bonding of flesh and spirit
is forged by the heat of desire;
in sync with two hearts pounding as one.
And as a blushing Mars rises to the occasion,
Venus peeks down with envious eyes.
