Velvet Afterglow

Cigarettes burn slow like time

Fingers trace lines on my spine

The night hums low

The room divine

Velvet afterglow

Take me where the rivers flow

Slow

So slow

We're untouchable

You know

Windows fogged with whispered heat

Hearts in sync

The rhythm sweet

Every breath

A fleeting feat

Love's a language we don't speak

But your hands

They make me weak

Velvet afterglow

Take me where the rivers flow

Slow

So slow

We're untouchable

You know

Candles flicker

Shadows sway

Night wraps us in its gray ballet

A kingdom here where we both lay
