Midnight Lover

From darkness come
with swirling cape
a gust of cold wind
when in he swept
into the room
in long strides

His lips on mine
so possessively cold
his arms so tight
his hands so warm
his body heat
upon mine own

Engulfing us with his black
cape, swirling and flapping
in a personal wind
around him gusts
he entered me
like a branding iron

My body like a guitar
played, all sensations
undenied
explosions
within the senses
like songs in a million operas

When at last
the night grew old
my caped lover
blew my sensation up
like confetti
gentle to the ground

He left at dawn light
with the last darkness
folding his dark cape
around him
in a puff of sulfur
he is gone...again

I know he will return
summoned by my mind
a minion of the dark realm
who gives pleasure without
love and who gets none;
Just my pleasure.
