Almost Took a Lover Once

He was dark brilliance and moans
(his moans, girlish and dusk, yet I gushed)
He tried to take me to his room
(for he had succeeded, others, redundant)
He tried to get into mine
(he was pleasing, so pleasing, he fissured my mind)
He warned he would snore
(I insisted he keep his shirt on, he was shade, he agreed)
His black hairs snagged the fibers of my gown
(if I was murdered, he would have been the only suspect)
For like I said, he was dark and brilliant and when
Daylight came, my freckles began to dawn
He turned spectral and forgot quick enough
