A bronze droplet
Brazenly flirts with
Your plump earlobe

The night's embers
Wishes you to be
The envious talk of
Provocative whispers

With you
Darkness reveals
but never hides

The night's flames
Grows higher and higher
Consumes and scars

Every inch of melting
flesh a memory
An undying ember
A brazen mark of
the one the night
dare not hide
