Lantern Light

Behind the soot stained glass

residue scent of burnt oil

remains of the night past

smoke kissed smudges

tempered as the lantern

her beauty in the sunlight

Wick soaked in desire

passionate flames flicker

brightest against the dark

night contrasting light

Like a belly dancer sways

charming flutist command

tames a dancing snake

so does the lantern's flame

call to lay his claim 

in the blackest of night

drawn to her inferno glow

of the lantern light
