Moonlust
I drink a cocktail of moonlight
Laced with a million shooting stars
The intoxicating scent of darkness
Accompanied by the candlelight of long forgotten midnight bars
Where I tussle with my demeanour
Surrounded by the righteous and the wicked
The lost and the wronged
Amongst all the dysfunction is somewhere we belong
Some sort of serenity hinted at in a thousand different songs
While we sway in time to the nights rhythm and rhyme
From nightclubs and quaint forgotten bars
To star adorned bedrooms above parked cars
Intoxicated by the floral scent of you
Infecting my thoughts with serpentine visions of lust
Discarded lace and satin under the stasis of moon dust
Bodies writhing amongst the flickering flames of candlelight
Shadows dancing in carnal tribal celebration
Fingers wet with desire and temptation
The open blinds cast moonlit lines across the room
Shadows that fall and rise with every passing car
While I trace glossy lips with hungry fingertips
Mouths caress wantonly in the electricity of the dark
The silky smooth skin that blesses my fingers
Lost in the heat of you
Your thighs tight around me
Addicted to your feminine wiles
On the invisible shore of the night
That takes us closer to ecstasy
Wave after undulating wave
The tranquility broken by urgency
Carnal greed and fire possessing our souls
Extinguished by the caress of slumber
And on my lips your number...
