Heart of Fire

September Nocturne

The moistness of summer returned
silently slipping into the stary night,
a quiet lover entering your bedroom
intent upon desires sweet errands,
longing to warm your aching loins
with my warm and fragrant breath
sweet mother night dances, over us

supple limbs stepping light as a feather
arching so high over the distant horizon
an anklet flashes, our eyes are bedazzled
bejeweled with the light of distant suns
her toe points down, then gently kisses 
the soft lips of the slumbering earth
thunder rolls with each dainty footstep

we harmonize the whirring night chorus
with our moans and sighs, in music so rare
the air is heavy, and thick as wild honey
the scent of poppies, red and soothing...
lays so rich and sweet upon my tongue..
warm and moist, as the body of your lover
pressed close to your fever-flushed skin
