Envious Eyes

Night dons a spectacular sequenced shawl, sparkling with trillions of stars, like cosmic candles twinkling within the blackness of space. And a golden moon hangs high; a gilded bobble mirrored on a placid lake, where moonbeams dance to the sound of applauding waves. Vampire shadows, clinging to shifting silhouettes gorge on the remnants of colors bled from Day; as liquid ebony inks every crag and crevice. Darkness descends like a curtain; creatures of the night frolicking within its folds. And fizzling shooting stars unzip the seams of space; martyrs to beauty, plunging to their deaths. And as a scarlet sun slowly sinks, crimson encapsulates lovers entangled in the night. And passion sets the air afire; as electrifying sparks of euphoric bliss, summon spontaneous fantasy wishes. An emotional trance, out of phase with time, invites innocence to dine at the table of love. And intimate feelings are shared and explored; afloat in sensual waters. A phantasmagorical bonding of flesh and spirit is forged by the heat of desire, fueling two hearts, beating as one. And as a blushing Mars rises to the occasion, Venus peeks down with envious eyes.
