Description
Eternal embrace,He holds me close.
He is mine.
She is nothing.
Darkness swirls around our bodies
Soft touches, pressures
Never-ending love
The darkness welcomes us.
Why must I go?
You want only my happiness.
Leave me to it.
Haunting pleasures
Impossible in the light.
Darkest dreams, reclaim me!
Hold me forever!
Never release me!
I open myself to you!
Take me!
Do not wake me on the morrow.
I will have found my eternity.
Peace is not promised
But he awaits me.

There's something so complete about short lines of poetry, generally, and specifically in yours. So much more in these six words:
"Haunting pleasures
Impossible in the light." ... than in a page of text because you're letting us think for ourselves about those pleasures.
I usually hate the expression "on the morrow," it sounds too old fashioned and though I find that useful sometimes it annoys me too; however you've used it well in the final stanza.

yeah, I didn't want to say it because it sounds old fashioned, but then tomorrow sounds too...meaningless. Everyday. It's been overabused, and has no meaning left. On the morrow can be abused easily, but **this is going to sound stuck up I think, oh well** I think I used it well too...

Stuck up? - Not at all.
"We, as people, know when we have achieved." - can't remember who said it, but it applies.
