Love Poem: Midnight Romance

Midnight Romance

Twilight's color is ashes of roses
Horizon is crimson as the sun sets
Round cerulean sky decomposes
To invite a charcoal night love begets
Ivory stars form a covering shawl
Lovers swish absinthe in dim candlelight
Toast to shadows that float upon the wall
From lambent flames in a passionate night
Candles melt to their porcelain holder
Night turns darker like obsidian glass
Moonlight's smoke embraces lips that soon smolder
Silhouettes, until dawn can trespass
Wrapped in soft sable fulfilled and content
A divine passion was inhaled and spent
