Lady of the Shadows

Darkness embraces me,
a velvet sheet falling down.
King royal blue moonshadows
softly touching marble brick floor.
Loving satin-clad hands running over my back.
She loves me, still I love her more.
In the golden darkness of our meetings,
sincere sentences of passion
clashes violent versus artificial cruelty.
Moonlight in her eyes,
I can see them smiling.
Floral perfume blending irresistably with the fragrance of our sweat.
She bites my lip and withdraws,
leaving me alone in the dark.
Something stays me from calling out,
my love and pain will return.
Though when I'll never know,
waiting and wanting is part of the game.
Her fragrance lingers with me,
like a ghostly presence.
Enter darkness.
