seductress
for amy

nude and shaken 
i sit alone
racing through heaven and hell 
and back
i remember
the ecstacy the horror
erotica
he knew
he knew it all
yet nothing
he was pleasure he was pain
he was nothing
i wait 
the messiah shall come
deliver me away

beauty
hath she 
who comes for me
grace and silence
a bird yet a cat
frail and strong 
perfection
she floats toward me

glowing silver
wearing a dress of gold
a face of pure fantasy
guilty 
oh to look upon thee
so great a sin
i turn away

 i feel your light though i no longer
see your body
you touch my shoulder
oh how could you
i taint your brilliance
you have come to take me home
you won't hurt me
you love me
not a body but a soul

you speak to me without sound
you sing me your songs
tell me all is well you'll
protect me
i am safe

I can't stand it
i look deep into your eyes
blue as the sea
truth eternal

no more gold
no more jewels
you're like me
your hips your breasts your legs
like me
i shiver as i touch you
you are soft not hard like he

hold me tight and all is well
the world is gone
horror is gone
the past is gone 
there is only you
and you understand

 we run together through
the woods
they all belong to you
thesun above
shines for thee 
the winds sing your praise

we are together then
we are one
on a bed a flowers
blanketed by warth
you say
i am what you want
you desire
you need
and i believe it all

i fall off into dreams of you
you reform
and fly away
you are free
after this
i shall never be

you saved me
i drank your love
ate your ambrosia
then you flew away

left me
alone
again
with a memory
another memory
