Lover
By
Elizabeth Maua Taylor
A twilight embrace
Encase the room,
Perfume of old
Mingled with jasmine light.
Bright sparks of fireplace ember fair,
Hair of brown
Down my back,
Caught in your hands.
Limbs curling lightly
Like undulating tendrils,
Cool breezes blowing from the fan
Span the echoes that pound in my veins,
Reined in your fold
You hold gently the task,
Of tenderly taking the mask
Off my face.
