'in the Heat of the Night'

‘In The Heat of The Night’ The night is sultry and the languid breeze Smells of sticky sweet Jasmine As it clings to each salty bead of sweat Dripping… Dripping… Dripping… From your brow, onto my breasts. Waves break in the distance Echoing each tangled arch And the sea, the warm, wet, surgent sea Cools in a steaming mist against our feet… Ebbing…Flowing…Ebbing…Flowing… Stirring molten love’s embrace Like ‘Dante’s Inferno’… Until the flaming, unbridled, night is stolen-- By the rays of the morning light. deborahburch© 07/24/2012

What a fantastic and dynamically stirring write my friend! I really enjoyed the fabulous compassionate waves within your poem! My favorite lines have to be, "Stirring molten loves embrace" and "until, The flaming unbridled night was stolen" what incredible lines those were, I just love the passion within them! Wonderful write, Great Work!!
