Flashlights began to pop
Around the corners of agitation
Fumes of lust spread all over me
Soft ticklish, mauve shades of breathe
Hoarse voice plunged my bruised neck
I could feel him as the lights died
Pacific trials
In a creamed-licked memory
Sophisticated yet tranquil module
Feather-licked fingers scanning my rosemary lips/ desires crossed over the edge/A dark chocolate circle around my navel/ licks of unfiltered moans whisper under my tongue/ coarse tribulations flicker a tale/ tale of ghosts/ now, drooling on my feminine curves/ He gawks his grey shaded eyes on me/ this is something new/ fantasizing with the ghost/ dribbling layers of needling pain/ he locked his arms on my bronze hair/ burn slowly / I saw the shape of lust/ signifying lump stuck in my mouth/ both breathless/ chasing laughter//
Saturated sight
Lukewarm charm
Sophisticated charcoal laced figure
Lure to catch fancy language,
Language of fling,
Language of flirtation,
Disillusion atmosphere turns green
The purple silhouette gradually walks away.
Far to the other side of the mirror
Leaving trails of despair on the face
