Analysis of Midnight Rendezvous
You’re thieving the space between us with want across your face
as I’m shadowed by the darkness, the candle light and lace.
You quietly conquer all of me as the heavens have the stars
and I’m sure there’s been no lovers’ dance that’s anything like ours.
Night is softly tempted by the moonlight at your window,
silence sweetly broken by both our need to let it go.
Morn will sneak in jealously to force our break away,
but I won’t mind forgetting time to relive last night today.
