A Darkened Room

Always there the two back beast
On the joys of love it feasts

Two are one then two once more
Forms that merge upon the floor

Shapes that show when lights deflected
Sounds that peel from souls affected

Intense with passion the air’s electric
Movements slow and then more hectic

Soon the beast has had its fill
Where it danced all now is still

The beast will rise no need to call
We are its mind; it’s in us all
