summers heat paints red sky's
soft bodies cling fire flashes
low moans rise with the moon
sultry darkness calls all
the new moons sweet taste of passion
lovers kiss in twilight
This is a poetry,prose,Haiku and writing site
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1916
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends-
It gives a lovely light!

This poem is a gem, and I especially adore the image in the first stanza of the red sky, the fire, and the moon.
