Nocturne

My burning stigma

Effaced by her touch

A headless horseman

On a gothic painting

Passed through

Our aroused silence

She embraced me

Escaping from the chill

My body taut

Fingers entwined to

A ball of fire

Ignited by her red nail polish

Breasts on my chest

Her heart

A primeval drum

Pounding with the rhythm of

Our mating dance

I kissed her nape

Breathe the scent

Molecules of desire

Loneliness and sweat

Eyes closed

I stood on the shadows

Hearing only

What her body told me

I wanted to swim

Across her body

She understood

Her hands encircled

My neck to drop me

Into her ocean

We kissed

A burning tongue

Etching her shape on

My abdomen walls

I lost her there, but

I know she is waiting

A half-moon on

A pedestal of darkness
