Awaiting The Night

Lost inside passion
with burning desire
Vision refocused
in tunnels of fire

Screams of delirium
christen the night
Darkness a metaphor
tainted delight

One then another
the virgins do fall
Lascivious demons
unleashed in the hall

Till daybreak approaches
new light on the way
The beast back in harness
—this evening to stray

Was poem taking place in an asylum? It was eerie and scary. I did like it. The Gothic touch made it light brightly.
