Foreplay

There's drama

in your eyes

and in the way you stare

into the thick, humid night

invading

the intimate space

between your body

and the silhouette

of my desires

vaguely traced

in a seemingly

capricious

arabesque

of light and shadow

against

the jaundiced

sweaty wall

where the sinuous

delicious presence

of your sex

reveals

the promised redemption

of a fierce

mutually contested

joyously arousing

endless night.
