Love Roulette

Last night I dreamed of a romantic moment.

A candlelit dinner by the burning coals of a bonfire.

On the Marrakech brown temple tile the color of an antique penny

It was a mysterious evening

We watched the sky as it went dark

It was like a solar storm in tornado season.

Forbidden Red with a dash of curry.

The inferno in the sky slowly went out to the night music.

An Indian sunset , like a Portuguese dawn.

It turned to a Black Sapphire and compass blue.

A siren inside me was going off.

As you sipped on a second pour of some royal liquor.

You were calm like an eccentric magenta.

My heart pounded as my stomach tied in a lovers knot.

I was all dressed up like a firecracker sitting in your lap of luxury.

Preparing myself for a game of Love Roulette with a heartbreaker.

Then you vanished behind a velvet curtain.
