Metal on metal

Striking still

Running the course fibers

Closer and closer

Metal to flame,

Searing the night

Lighting so little

Yet revealing so much

Orange fire and blue smoke

Dancing around

Drawing me in

Making me his

Blue smoke and black silk

Both encircle everything I feel

One holds me close and strokes me soft

The other dives into me-makes me short of breath

Black silk and tan skin

Both sooth me

Coax me in to my shuddering end

When all I see is stars

Tan skin and Silver light

Beckon me closer

Bring me into their arms-exhausted

Welcome me to sleep

Silver light to blinding glare

For the moon dips away

And my happy reality fades

With the flick of a switch
