Nefarious Nectar

In this honeydew-hued candlelit room, 
our shadows slow-dance
indulgently caressing our cadaverous consciouses 
as they carelessly clatter through each step of sacrilegious self-revelation 

Layer by layer, we gradually underdress each sequenced secret 
marking the map of our mystic musings 
our tongue-tied whispers unkink tempting textures 
as we eagerly and feverishly 
unseal the nefarious nectar 
in anticipation of playfully parsing through our previously protected primordial premonitions
