Lets Call It a Night

Then those your vibrant eyes, shining with a soft tremulous light.

Luminous and deep, deeper than any ocean

or blue outback sky.

as i may have tried to tear my gaze from the scorch of our promising unison,

even so for the sake of dearest life, so transfixed.

Igniting within me a passion that burns throughout and never ebbs.

The heat of it so high in sexual potency, Then the shimmer in yours eyes & your cheeks 

begin to gleam, as your heart begins to thump to a certain beat, your blood rushing up

towards your mind, making your thoughts haze & your decisions vague.

Recognition follows, like a deeper knowledge of neither name nor age

Some awareness of something elemental.

A desire like no other, pacifying some other deeper demon inside me.

May i have this tango
