dark desires

they sit in the dark…
drowning passions stark,
a flame of secret dalliance…
hmm, a mischievous alliance…

in rhythmic cadence desires sly,
never to mind the where and why,
entangled in sweat and tears,
unafraid of tomorrow’s fears…

ecstatic to the moment’s oblivion,
with many a play to nirvana’s infatuation,
dark these desires may be,
but an ephemeral notion so heavenly….

such is a dark desire…
a blazing passion, playin’ with fire…

    Love it! Great writing! But are we really playing? Or being played? Or all perpetrators playing victims of ourselves?
