Deep in the night
where no man ever dwells
My secret lover comes
casting wonderous spells
Softly he whispers
indescribable words
Tauntingly dangerous
things I have never heard
With pounding heart
every breath escapes
Waiting for the slightest touch
a kiss or warm embrace
Oh, secret lover
from afar
You have taken my soul
to heights unexplored
