The stars gazed on lazily,
As the clouds closed in on them,
The wind swayed the trees around,
The ground beneath slipped away...
As a feeling of euphoria took over,
The whole world seemed to sway...
Large droplets of rain,
Seemed to fuel the emotions,
With a soft humming that surpassed,
All limits of so-called sanity...
The pleasure, the touch, the warmth,
So pure, so peaceful, devoid of vanity...
The heat of the moment,
Led to the abyss of passion,
The charisma of this unnatural bliss,
Played like a labyrinth of joys...
Every turn, a victory, every twist,
A passionate reason to rejoice...
And finally, when the nectar,
Flowed out of the beautiful flower,
Into the butterfly's bosom,
Those cherished moments swiftly flew by...
The insect departed, rising upwards,
And disappeared into the night sky.
