silk words caress my ears
like silver fallen stars
and I drink them up
with the desperate wanting
of someone thirsting
needing far more
than mere water
ivory hands stroke my face
soft as velvet
yet firm enough that I tremble
wishing for their embrace
so needy
so desiring
of their acceptance
I do not see the anger
gleaming in those ebony eyes
I do not hear the danger
threatening under soft tones
I have placed my faith
my fate
in his hands...
As he drains away my liquid
crimson kisses on pale skin
my eyes widen
and I sink to my knees
unresisting
uncomprehending
as he disappears into the night
