THROUGH THE NIGHT (2)

 

 

THROUGH THE NIGHT 

 

Through the night

within the room in which they stayed

through the night.

The candles shed their shifting light

upon the bed in which they laid

as curtains by the window swayed

through the night.

 

Through the night

upon his chest her long black hair.

Through the night

as candles shed their shifting light

consumed by love they sought to share

in ecstasy in passions snare

through the night.
