By Candle Light

By Candle Light

Beneath the sky at night
Candlelight shining in your eyes
Just dinner for two, you & I!
By the poolside the moon in her full bloom
Casting shadows upon my mind
In the velvety darkness of my skies
Dancing scintillating little stars
as bright as your eyes
That intense stare gazing at me
across the table, I reached to touch
your lips with mine;
That amusing look in your eyes, making me smile
Drinking the very essence of you was I
I was lost for all times
It took every ounce of me not to touch
your mind with mine
Playing games with mine eyes I realised;
By the poolside the moons, reflection
Such moon before I've never seen,
Her gravity pulling at you & me!
& the cicadas singing infernally
intoxicating you & me
At the poolside gazing into your eyes
Naughtiness danced indolently before, mine eyes
Raising our glasses celebrating
Crystal clear the sound
The look of you...Ahh!
Control cannot my skipping heart,
within my chest uncontrollably;
It takes every ounce of me to quieten
down my heart, fibrillation within me
The hunger within me for, you an impossibility
That you'll want, playing games with me my heart
But my mind so full of you
my heart's bursting at the sight of you!
Every morsel I've eaten stopping me from breathing
My throat constricting, for food I need not...
Sitting across from you playing footsie with you
Drinking the essence of you, mine eyes!
My eyes so full of you!
Taking my hand ambling through the moonlit night
I kissed your eyes your lips that first time
Ahh! It took every ounce of me darling
to control my beating heart
I could feel your heart beating against mine-
like a percussion within me...
Ahh!
Such a long time darling such a long time!
Yet I know I know I mustn't get carried with the flow
but it's so hard darling it's so hard
All I need is make love to you underneath the moonlit night
with the cicadas singing infernally constricting my heart
as you & I dancing indolently by the light of the moon
Control can no this need in me, kissing you good night
But this goes beyond you or me as I run to you to hold me tight
In your eyes, I can see your need is stronger than mine
As we loved beneath a starlit night sky
Upon my skin, your fingers tips playing, piano pianissimo
Softly! Then regressing insistently to a forte fortissimo
& I was lost, lost in the momentum of time
Like a primitive being lost that very first time;
