A Vision

It was midnight, 
  solemn residue in the moonlight
  inched along the staircase shadows began to sway,
a flickering of candlelight 
  resting in sensual delights
  my eyes pondered the unseen vision at play.
An image unimaginable, my scenario scenes
  innate desires that rose somewhere from deep within
   this wanton daydreamer dreams
   the lustful love caress waiting to begin.
Without a gown, un-coiffed locks, 
  a humming raptured purr un- dressed
  a vision memorialized in the silent stillness of the night
slow and methodical,  
 content with her tease egress
 descending toward my body in unspeakable delight.
Hovering and suddenly exposed by the gloaming
 my foot halted held in gravity's laws
 emulsifying the first step as I paused
a mere image of the night stalker's roaming
 the silkened cat's meow revealed her claws.

Well-done for the contest, D.M. Tastefully done too, may I say. Here's to a winner. Cheers, Gershon

DM, I am so enamored by the way you write. Your staircase' cast with a daydreamer's silken song claws, is such a fitting light. -Richard
