Blue-Velvet

swimming through the night like dark pools 
clearly, the stars shine their light 
surrounding you in an everlasting glow 
that sparks to protect and 

caress's the exposed skin of you 
your passion is heated to the core
its sweet; the desire that's hidden 
beneath your coils

the caressing light contrasts with the 
dark pools of violet-blue velvet that 
swims through each lovers heart,
it runs through their ears like a bloodied 
blade.

hissing its serpent song in your ear, caressing 
you in a false touch that chills to the bone. 
the light that surrounded you has dispersed, 
turning to fog and carrying you 

eerily to the depths of the lady's dark grace
she, who hums lullaby's in your ear when 
you lack the courage to close your lids and 
dream of what you desire. 

she, who pulls you; calls you to her in her 
siren song. she; who caress's you in her feather 
light touch. whispering in your ear. 

"thou loveth me, i love thee. i cherish thee, forever. " 
she hums these words till you believe, 
its her siren song that she sings in your ear
when you lay in your bed asleep. 

hoping, just hoping
in your dreams, you weep.
