After Dark

in your presence 
where the force of attraction onslaughts
like dewdrops when they fall on roses,
i long to be.

in your eyes
where love beckons 
like a summer night,
i want to behold.

in your arms
where desire besieges 
like a maiden moon,
i can hide.

But deep down inside of you
where passion and ecstacy
are heating up in smoke,
.....i want to burn
...................burn
...................burn
