Howling Fervor

They strolled together at eventide As the pearlescent moon danced above When they embraced he could hear the thrum of his heartbeats Emotions seemed to plumb together as one And she felt the flames of passion burning within The tang of her kiss aroused his desire And awakened the feral beast within He felt a howling fervor erupting in his soul That could not be crimped. And their passion set the night ablaze. 3-18-2021 Eight word Bardenesque challenge Contest Sponsor: John Hamilton

Congrats Joseph on an excellent write and win, probably would have placed higher if it was a little longer exploring the nuances of the given words.
