Midnight Romance

More sensual than the cerulean sky More still than the ash of roses at dusk This charcoal haven that hosts you and I Beneath the moon's dimming ivory tusk My love, can you taste absinthe in the air, Lingering sweetly between these pale lips? Fingering cheeks of porcelain, so fair Heart racing when fingers slide to my hips The world turns crimson when two lips collide Yes, more sensual than sunset is this My fingers entwined in your sable locks In the heat, in the smoke of midnight's kiss. Your obsidian eyes wake from the trance As ends this session of midnight romance. For Midnight Romance Contest 10-11-17

Didn't know this was for a contest, and the words were required so I retract my previous comment!

Thank you John, in this case absinthe is being used to refer more to the alcoholic absinthe, greenish in color and quite intoxicating, thanks for the tip though ;)
