Black Satin

Black-satin, I love you, I want you!
I love the shimmering splendor of your skin!
Come home with me now, to my house-
I will light a thousand candles for you,
I will put you in a great carved bed,
With white, white sheets and a scarlet coverlid-
Ebony against snow.
Little black panther, I long to feel your warm breath
against my neck-
You are the dark flower of my heart.
