Under the Paper Lanterns

Last night you came to me
From a dream
Into reality
Standing at my door
Eyes full of longing
For something I could give
And only I could give
I took you into my bed
And pressed you close
To the heart
That has been breaking
Since the day you left
And felt whole again
If only for an hour
While your heat
And your smell
Intoxicated me
So I could not resist
When your lips
Timidly met mine
One taste was all
Before I was drunk
With the passion we share
I sipped your lips
And craved your sighs
Long into the night
Kissed hips
And clawed shoulders
As we danced dizzy
Hungrily
Until the bellies
Of our desires were full
And I gazed down
Upon your smile
Glowing dimly
Under the paper lanterns
Strung carefully
For a moment
Just like this
Where time and desire
Would meet one another
And you would return
If only for an hour
