Shadows of Candlelight

You haunt me as a ghost haunts the night

Taunting me with your image

In the shadows of candlelight~

Feel me make love to you as wax drips slow

Down the shaft of the candle to the base below~

Feel the heat of the flames flicker in the night

Burning within blue veins where red blood ignites~

Dance with the shadows that tangle upon the wall

In and out and all around, tantalize as they call~

Let me be your lover for just a little while

Within the depths of candlelight

Let me be your Queen of the Nile~

Let me feel your eyes cast upon my skin

Let me feel your mind caressing fantasies within~

So sensual and full of darkness, and yet there is light, the candle. Another beautiful write, and much enjoyed. :)

Your welcome, and the only thing that can stop me is my poor internet connection. (using my phone right now, since my computers doesn't work). :)

Thank you...for you your kind comments...I havent forgot I still have to read Pablo's poem.:) but I havent had time with read requests and everything.

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

I understand, it's a piece worth the wait. Take your time, somethings happen when they are supposed to.
