The Night

The lights were very dim,
your skin looked orange in the deep night shadows.
Your skin was everything to me:
it held all my dreams and desires.
I was ravenous that night.
I wanted to consume every part of you.
I wanted to empty you out
and fill you up with me.
i did.
I filled every secret part of you with every part of me.
We fit together.
Perfectly.
The night was deep.
The night was dark.
Yet, your light blinded me.
All shackles of humiliation or trepidation clanked to the cement under our toes.
We moved rhythmically against the cold tiles, cold green tiles.
We could have been caught.
They could have found us out that night.
But, God let them wait til the morning.
One night, the last night
the only night you were mine.
