Phantom Love



I feel you coming on the night,

A shadowed kiss of sultry lip-

Scalding fingers trace my hip,

A phantom love in gilded light.

I taste your flesh within the rain,

The salty taste of sweat and need-

The burning blood on which I feed

Where pleasure courts the pain.

Within the wind I breathe your scent,

Which ushers ache and longing in,

To smell again the carnal sin-

The spicy tang of passions spent.

In reverent silence your voice does call-

An epic song of shadowed soul-

That flesh to flesh shall make us whole;

Of love and lust and beauty's thrall.

Of darkness born, in darkness adore-

This promise I see in silvered eye;

I shall whisper dawn my last goodbye

And seek night alone no more.
