Shadows of Love’s Embrace

In shadows deep where hearts of gold reside,

Their whispered wishes echo soft and sweet;

Yet lustful yearnings hid from prying eyes,

Buried beneath the sun's relentless heat.

For sweetest dreams or tragic tales of woe,

Fleeting forms of love and passions spent;

Lead mournful souls through love's vast labyrinth,

Their hollow cries despairing voices lent.

To find true comfort in this earthly sphere,

The simple breath of tender touch or sigh:

May fan the glowing embers of love's flame,

And veil the darkness of a velvet sky.

Such subtle warmth in formless dark doth grace,

Serenely bides the quiet of love's embrace.
