Among opalescent promises
and the quivering twilight
there, does my shadowed lover
emerge

All silk caresses, teasing whispers
to ignite the ebon fire within
burning away all pretense
until I am left
yearning
for his love

Willing the darkness
to last evermore
as to stay, in ecstacy
locked in Passion's fiery embrace
in awe of myself

Beyond my boundaries
captured, enraptured
by a ghost
lifting the veil
to gaze upon
HIM

The black prince
my inspiration
the nightmare's dream
destiny has never been so clear to me

Torn between the distance
of heaven or hell
longing for him, as he longs for me
as we fall into the abyss
of the enlightened

Dancing in the flames
of each other's eyes
as dawn approaches
his visage
slowly fades
with the droplets of dew

As his kiss
stains my lips
and the memory
of his embrace
remains etched in my mind
as the light
vanquishes the last of my dreams
