Luminous Vision

Embraced by lambent tongues of light,
the shadows dance across her face.
I gaze and feel passion ignite.

I watch her movements with delight
mesmerized by form and grace
embraced by lambent tongues of light.

Remembered moments from the night,
faint echoes of pleasure’s embrace,
I gaze and feel passion ignite.

Excitement builds as lips incite.
Entwined, our blood begins to race
embraced by lambent tongues of light.

The vision of Eros’s sprite
consumes my heart’s once empty space.
I gaze and feel passion ignite.

Tumescent thoughts arise by sight;
flesh awakes in a rising pace.
Embraced by lambent tongues of light,
I gaze and feel passion ignite.


Notes

Form: Villanelle
A villanelle has only two rhyme sounds. The first and third lines of the first stanza are rhyming refrains that alternate as the third line in each successive stanza and form a couplet at the close of the 19 line poem.

lambent - running or moving lightly over a surface
