Wildfires In His Eyes

"You're here," he whispered from shadows

My fragrance consorted before me 
Heady scent of musk-infused blooms 
Intoxicating allure, lustfully impure

On the bed was an opened poetry book,
across it pages,  a perfect red rose
Dark crimson, like the blood within me flows
heated by need and the greed in his eyes
There burned the wildfires of desire
flames fanned as I moved nearer

They reflected soft glimmers 
of the pearlized moon 
She, a naughty voyeur, peering in the night
Through an open window she watched
the rhythm of swaying shadows at play

Seductive smile on my vermilion lips 
in a chamber painted amber by candlelight
No need of their scintillation to see
His touch was all I needed 
to guide me in flights of ecstacy
as hands pleaded in sensual strokes

Diamonds danced across a sapphire sky 
He breathed erotic sensations on my nape 
and slid a strap of the gown down my shoulder 
The pulse of his heart beat against my hand
my other caressed the ruff at his temple 

Fuchsia fluttered on the trellised window 
Their aroma faded as I inhaled his balm
We tasted love and savored passion 
Now sated and replete in a moment of calm

Soft breezes swirled across warm silk sheets
My hand trembled as I reached for him
Wildfires reignited in his emerald eyes
"The night is still young and the moon is asleep," 
I whispered. My intent was not disguised

Just adored this write, Lin, and it was so sexy and libidinous ... it also left some things up to the imagination, and I think that's the sexiest element of ALL - letting the readers' minds do some of the work. Congratulations on FIFTH PLACE, and thank you for your patience! :-) <3
