The Shadow Dreamt Poem by Joseph Wraithbone

She was a pretty girl
With black hair and reddish-pink tips
Those deep brown eyes like the sea
So big and mysterious and beautiful

Your pale slightly freckled skin in the moonlight
Was so soft to the touch
Your body pressed against mine
It was as if heaven met earth
In that one dark lustrous kiss

The skies fell in and I held you closer
Your hips swayed with my arms around them
You look at me so innocent and wild 
Those black irises set in diamond white
Like an eclipse of the sun and moon

The rush of emotion like a tidal wave
Feelings crash, one after another
Like a sweet rolling wave of your body on mine

The sweat rolled down us both in a moment of passion 
 A pause of our heavy breath
Then the sounds of our fast beating heart next to each other

Your subtle slim curves dripping with perspiration
Your lips cherry red in the sliver light
Your soft breast rest against my chest
You slowly ease a breath in, than out
I run my fingers through you short straight hair

I kiss you one last time
And then suddenly I'm awake
Gasping for air as if drowning 
With a missing space between my arms

You are just a shadow of my lust
A shadow dreamt in sleep
A deep dark part of me
