Cabaret
Language: English 
The dim room rocks in a smoky haze;
The throb in my veins is quick with wine;
Long, sweet langorous music plays
And our darkness dizzily intertwine
Head thrown back and lips apart, 
With eyelids drooping and hair askew
I hear the soft, warm hiss of my heart,
Heavy as honey calling you.
