sensual shadows
drink a purpling moon
teasing dull silken glimmer
from scarves in their dance
along aubergine hollows
of candlelit thighs
softly flickering
fragrant with passion’s ablution
demure glints from peridot eyes
heighten moments
then falter and fade
receding beneath
the dim surface of time
in weak torture of
reconciled memory
