Fleeting Trysts
Earthy murmurs of night’s incensed flames
release my soul from time’s lonely contempt ;
I pour groans on this secret craving
That my mouth, in disguise, words play
About sweet babbles, once again
To incite a passion of fleeting trysts.
Chapters of sighs quench the emptiness
Just for now… the hunt for company
Loiters on a district’s busy street;
Effervescent as the red of moon
As my thirst to ease another dismal night
Unleashes what is cold and burnt within…
Until curving gaits slither along
Waiting for a prey, a sinful reward;
Not by love’s command this heart endures
But through a lusty thought: life is a game.
