Temporary Welcome for an Empty Heart

Blue satin and pale skin,

A flash of light illuminating a dark red room.

Bodies moving in time to a silent song,

Slowly, timelessly,

Suspended in a state of partial awareness.

A soft murmur of breath,

The sensual feel of silk gliding over human form.

The silence is heavy with unheard sound.

Movement ceases then begins,

Uneven clockwork,

Meticulous in its entirety,

Flawed when taken apart.

A structure built to perfection

Meant to last a lifetime,

But no one will stay forever,

A temporary palace filled with all the desires of a heart.
