Empty Apartment

Candles sparkle, reflections bounce off the accent wall I painted red "When a man loves a woman" bangs from the speakers Pops from the wood echo through the room my body trembling, your hands are impatient Tires coated in rain water glides across the black tar blaring from the window cracks The heat from your dark chocolate skin and the shine from that cherry limade lip gloss I picked up from the corner store seemed to scent the room You change tremendously in size My emotions are tangled like yarn in the hands of a kitten My temptations are like mating tiger in the safari We reach a new esculator of feelings I take it all in, the sounds, the popping of the wood, the music from the streets drums in my ears I give into you You are floored by me And the steam from our love makes the candles sweat As we lay there panting like the haunter and its prey both staring at that red accented wall I turn to you with love in my smile and then I close my eyes and when I open them I find myself alone with only a memory of us in my empty apartment
