the price of the night

the price of the night

as the first touch is met and returned and the darkness grows
silken skin rasps over the rough a softness beginning to swell
both the dry and the wet are burned as the new ecstasy glows
never too little and never enough as within the night we dwell
lips gentle becoming bold and brave all of doubt has retreated
heat rises as the little fevers erupt spreading hot in the wildfire
delicate souls to lose souls to save each sin has been repeated
the depraved mislead a virgin corrupt lust covers love’s desire
a breath of infinity is now given to these finite moments taken
lost in the mind body and heart reality focuses on experience
seeking separation from life riven even as the earth is quaking
explore a country no map or chart chaos creates interference
seduce sensation until satiation as all inhibition’s lies are lost
what began as a simple infatuation is being added to the cost
