A Night Dance

Let us share our night in blood dreams where secrets of the moon prowl victims Blood red are the visions that we see howling preys on innocent love bleeds Bodies join within a primal passion source of the last breath escaping clouds A night dance we share in harmony underneath the cloak of darkness Let the velvet night enter your whispered silence born from the womb of creation Enfold us in the breath of a sigh falling into spiral caught within one bite Love is the dance of angels in the heart of night holding on to the shadows of yesterdays We are ever the Demons in the night kissed under a blanket of stars held hostage They call me the queen of velvet dark creeping bats enslave a caged beast A Vampire heart does hold me to the night seduced by the midnight music Shadows dancing on a wall living mosaic moving empty matter comes alive rising from out of ashes Flickering by candles flame sharing the warm tenderness held within a wisp of smoke a moment in eternity where silver gates open one treasured chest Blood hearts soaring in a night dance drunken beams moonshine smiles on the damned Drowning sorrows die upon a crimson tide of a lover's heartbeat A Collaboration By Liam Mcdaid & Michael P Clarke. unrhymed quatrains
