Love or Forfeit.

The night disguises itself

in a kaleidoscope of shadows
playing with temptation
and fading into you
I hide between those twilight hours

with fingers that dance
breaking the boundaries
between sin and madness

turning and twirling

deft dervishes lost in mystical delirium

spinning into oblivion

I see through dazed eyes that sweat emotion
you are in everything I do, everything I touch, everything I taste

I am spoilt for a taste of something forbidden

caught in a desperate battle where there are no victors
just a land stained with lust
and martyred promises that smell of you.
