The ache slithers in,

Like a seductive snake,

Filling the veins with an amorous venom,

Words fill the gaps of longing in pining bones, like Kintsugi,

Weary travellers, looking for each other,

Across desperate deserts of seclusion,

A mirage of desires glistening in the eyes,

A storm, waiting to unleash,

An ache for forbidden bliss,

Names.. slipping from the lips,

Like dew drops of whiskey,

Arms and legs,

Entwined in a smouldering tryst,

Minds, intoxicated silhouettes,

Dancing to the tunes,

Of sultry, siren songs,

The night turns a carnal crimson,

As the veil of innocence comes undone.
