Seek the brightness, I besiege you
ending this sultry masquerade
of flaming hair and ruby lips

For fullness of moon in slivers of
silver hides not this contempt for you

Take my hand warm blooded
of sun to romp and play in
a sea of calming waves as
a conch would have you hear
my whispers in your ear
that say come stay with me

With midnight fast approaching
proclaiming that bewitching hour
I pray to find you safe in my bed
accepting of All my love to give

To obligate sunlight upon
your face within my embrace
disengaging a haunting charade
forthwith bearing forget me not
