clandestine love in the night
heated whispers brush my face
you become me in black and white
and love becomes more in this dark dark place
as flames are lit in this sacred rite
clandestine love in the night
echoes of lust sear our fate
as voices beseech a lascivious wait
words plant deep in fertile flesh
while dappled shadows do us enmesh
clandestine love in the night
o’ glorious love i do thee pray
as silent breaths hush the chanting choir
grey becomes red in the midnight fire
clandestine love in the night
elephants roar as gazelles take flight
all becomes quiet in the hot jungle night
and dreams become our singular plight
clandestine love till the mornin’ light

Love the rhythm of this one. So many of your poems I can hear set to music.
But what are you doing, gypsy woman?
A clandestine love should be whispered in unspoken words... and I am not sure I forgive you for letting go of this secret place where I could whisper my own fears. Don't you hear the cold breeze, once again sweeping over here?
And then you're all over this facebook thing where people pass by for a few seconds, leaving deep words of wisdom.
But you're forgiven anyway, as you know, because you write so well and I love thinking of you.
But you know what? French Grands Crus are simply the best.
Lovely as usual, hope all is well.
Sausage...
