Flames and Shadows

Night is darkness, darkness is night
Night scary for some, for some a delight
Delight enhanced with candle light 
Candle light casting dancing shadows
Shadows made sensual by flickering flame
Flickering flame seducing the shadows 
to erotically entice passions and desires
Desires displayed in the flame shadowy light
The flames' fragrance wafted about
About the air thick with passions and desires
Desires now doubling by fragrance and flame  
Flame soothing the darkness much to shadows' delight
Shadow and flames' sensual satisfaction in creation
Creation of this situation for minds and bodies
Merging and melting, submitting and sweating 
Sweating and submitting to others' desires
Desires and fantasies, kisses and romance
Romance rendezvous at night ignited
By flame and shadow eerie enticement 
Secrets and seductions kept hidden in the light 
The light turns to darkness, the flame eager to
soften and soothe the night
But mostly to bring the seductive companion
back to lighten its' life
