A Darker Shade of Red

Sweet release - erupting from the depths of the soul.
A rising and falling motion old as the annals of time.
Shared by two bodies interlaced in bouts of passion.
Abandon on their lips and fire on their fingertips.
* * *
They kiss - their tongues entwine,
The cool night's breeze fanning their bliss.
Gazing in each other's glistening eyes,
Their hearts filled with intoxicating contentment.
* * *
Soft sounds of music travel to their ears,
As the voices of angels serenade them on high.
Silently reveling in the enchanted moment,
Wrapped in rapturous embrace as if the world would end.
* * *
Whispering words of tenderness,
Promising commitment and vowing fealty.
They etch the memory in their minds,
A fragment of time that is forever - solely their own.
* * *
A fissure, borne by their imminent separation,
Opens and engulfs them in darkness.
Emptiness resonate with palpable loss -
The cold creeps slow chilling their very blood.
