Passion

Are you persuaded by what I say ?
Do you read into what I write
a possible world you may want.
A desire!

Can I hold your flame in my mind ?
Can I burn you passions in my own fire?
Do you wish the warmth of my heart,
my very essence, to cradle yours.

Shall I carry your weight upon mine?
Shall I seek to kindle the midnight light
and grasp your love with both hands.

Do you hear my voice, cry with your pain ?
Do you ease your love into mine
and hold my arched back into your sensuality,
nourished by this obsession

Are you persuaded by my words
to secure a destiny,
in the arms of this passion,
as fulfil by the nectar
of this lust?
