Midnight Oils

Midnight Oils

It was a late arrival that evening

But their secret Dewlish retreat

Beaconed a welcoming escape

To usher unbridled into the boudoir

An old oil lamp’s flame flickered

In delicate golden dancing hues

Across midnight lover silhouettes

Pulsating in tune to their rhythms

The dribbling steamed up window

Masked views of the outside world

Seductively heightening pleasures

From passionate urgent entwining

Echo muted off satin papered walls

Lightly expressive sighs of ardour

Complimented their appreciations

And gave equality to shared respects

A symbiotic beneficial relationship

And interaction of their emotionality

Roused the room’s vibrant ambiance

To a celebration of reciprocal desires

Time stood momentarily motionless

As they reached a mutual crescendo

Aftermath cocooned in soft sheets

To slumber into each other’s arms

I was going along fine, till the word 'monetarily' stopped me short.
Did you mean, 'momentarily'? A slip of the fingers, or the mind? If not, if you did, in fact, mean 'monetarily, please explain!
Overall, this is quite beautiful, and wonderfully descriptive.

Might I add: I absolutely LOVE your name!

A hot, steamy write straight from the boudoir with its satin wallpaper and dim lighting courtesy of the oil lamp. You have certainly set the scene for this passionate bedroom romp in Dewlish Phill. Well penned.
