Hidden New Blood

Hidden within the dark shadows of night
A dim flicker where once was a bright shining light.
Awaiting for someone who with curious intentions
Brings out desires too hot to mention

It seeps from within and the fire awakens 
The wind picks up its pace and the ground is shaken
All else leaves but two hearts pumping
The mind is lost, the body is humping

Each on a path to different ends
Where it leads all depends
One wanting to feel alive
The other only to survive.

Giving and taking what they desire
Soothing the struggles, igniting the fire
He leaves relieved and feeling quite right
She relaxes knowing all is ok for at least one more night.

And life goes on. . . . This one captures the essence of a life that has become complacent, kind of sad one that reflects for me how many people have become today. congrats on your win.
