Tangled shadows cast upon a wall
Images of darkness projected from the light
Flickering flames oblivious to the heat of passion
Dance to the rhythm of the creatures of the night
Gentle sounds some loud and some low
Herald the tears of sorrow and the sighs of joy
Feelings so intense with no words to express their meaning
The movement of two bodies, soft touches to enjoy
From seconds to minutes to hours, time passes on
Writhings of pleasure eclipsed by a closeness of being
With laughter and giggles and sweet murmurings of love
Eyes open for looking into the unknown but never seeing
When at last uncoupled by satiated desires
Euphoria begets reality and silence fills the air
Two separate shadows cast upon the wall
Images of lightness, souls no longer bare
