Carpe Noctem

Seize the night;

It was made for us.

It was made to be the servant of our desire,

To bend before our will, to pander

To our whims.

Seize the night,

And hold it tightly; tie it

With the bonds of our love.

Let's bite it, scratch it, feast on it,

Until we're breathless,

Until we're exhausted;

Like it were only one night

With the craving for living

Another and another

Over and over again.

I am a butterfly that can experience

Eternity in one day, mea vita,

And, just like a butterfly

That chooses the most beautiful flower,

I will perch on your hips with a hunger

For nectar even if it's poisonous.

I would rather lose my mind

Than live without you.

In all of the books I've read:

Philosophies, doctrines...

I explored and could never find

That the greatest happiness is

In the delicious curve that goes

From your nape to your shoulder,

In the addictive attractiveness of your hands,

In the mesmerizing sound of your voice.

Anything that's yours is my delight.

I only yearn to seize this night with you

And let its essence pour into me,

Clinging to each instant, lingering on the bliss

Of our bodies encircling each other

In an eternal embrace.
