flicker

moments of breathlessness,
 respire
the fevered hush fills my veins,
 my being
tender moments sway in sultry

 with shadows
dancing to the candle's flicker
 in a velvet inkwell
where passion writes a song,
 of innocence

the exhale takes shape,
 in glassy eye stares
while breath of the spirit
 fogs inhibitions

the primitive beat bounds,
 in strips
of grace shredded
 in the scorched eyes
of love's flicker
