Concealed in the center

of a stately courtyard hedge maze,

tis there I sit in the moonlight,

watching shifty silhouettes flit.

Sheltered in such silence,

the night becomes surreal.

While resting, reminiscing,

I sense you’re somewhere near,

nestled amidst this nightly haze.

…Are you truly here,

or just a figment of imagination?

I cannot deny

the deepest root of my temptation.

Ah, I can clearly see you now…

Slowly, ever closer you drift,

baring everything,

wearing nothing

but a lazy midnight mist.

So deliberate, yet sincere,

your hand raises to your lips,

…softly blowing me a kiss.

Oh, how you fuel the fire

for my raging lust!

I’m tightly bound by desire,

and wound around the magic

of your mystical touch.

Sprawling before me,

…you reach out

and we tangle in the dew.

Yes, I’ve had other women,

…but none like you.
