It’s to the sound of your Soul’s syncopating drum beat as I lay ear to your chest that my heartbeat resonate with, in rhythmic pulsating
Enthralling, I’m swallowed by the Python of your irresistible gaze, head over heels ravishingly devoured, bone, phlegm and marrow
Locked in the hypnotic grip of your love ballad’s Octopus, I can’t get out of it’s tentacles
Your tenderness has taken my reason into prison, and yet awards me freedom from serfdom, even as I am sunk into the quagmire of your desire, having been allured by your subduing voice like a Snake Charmer
Swept offshore by the waves of your deep blue Ocean of seduction, my limbs lost their power to paddle out of your grip, as the famished Shark of your disarming smile opens its jaws, even as my consent and dissent move in opposition to each other
Stung by the jellyfish of your silky smooth touch, my heartbeat paused a moment, then goes into uncontrollable spasm of conflicting decision, of wanting to live yet this death seems sweet
If this is what loving is, then I shall pick the choicest grapes from my softer than butter Heart’s vineyard, ferment myself a brew, get stewed to the gills for its endless thrills
