What blossoms
In the shadows
Is passionate and dark.

Secrets held between
Knowing smiles.

Feelings that have been
Trapped for so long,
Burn slowly under the
Surface.

Every time you whisper my
Name,
I feel the very blood in my
Veins dance.

In truth,
I think of you
Too much,
And kiss you too little.

And I yearn for more
Of you completely.

Cursed,
Hopelessly devoted,
And desperate for
You,
My days are grey
Without your love.

And I fantasize about what
Could be again.

So, my beloved,
Come and illuminate
My night
With your fiery
Touch,
And don’t let me go
Until I’m undone.
