Dark and Dangerous Like a Secret
Among the phantom of hillsides and trees,
She hovers quietly, fragrant as a ripened jasmine
Beneath the stark new moonlight peeping
Harsh to a disguised tryst, a forbidden desire
As her lover appears near the appointed cave--
His musky whisper gasping across the sky, hushed
To imbue love forbidden within those emerald eyes;
O perilous enough to claim her... owned by another.
Warm, warmer like one torrid August, they caress
On a night's full steam, knowing in the darkness
This rendezvous must be their last, final liaison--
For a thousand concealed ramblings spread
Around a small locale: But quivers of hunger
Render them untamed --fondling seeking waking
The openness of an ovule and bold pistil...
Till an old eagle owl shrieks while woman and man
Endure the rise of morning's call--- unbridled.
