Night has come to take me hostage, <br />tie me up in fantasy and dreams <br />of romance mixed with lobster <br />which I might prefer, it will not <br />break my heart as I hammer <br />on its shell in search <br />of succulence to sustain <br />my spirit. Moonlight flirts <br />between the crevices <br />of clouds while dreamy <br />drifts of stars coax <br />the mind to wander <br />through memories <br />of smiling lips, of eyes <br />all crinkled up <br />in laughter <br />of fingertips just brushing <br />oh so gently on the angle <br />of a jaw, nape of the neck, <br />white gleam of teeth <br />behind lips poised <br />to capture just a kiss <br />that holds your heart <br />to ransom in a moment, <br />ah, sweet night, <br />take me deep into <br />the torment and <br />delight me until morning.<br /><br />Midnight Clarity<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bedtime-thoughts/
