Desire

Only when my world
Slumbering
Do you call

Whispering my name
Unbidden
A match to my flame

You rend me apart
I quicken
Senseless to refrain

For its sweet cruelty
That I stir
I let it rule me

I swoon and I yield
I revel
My nature revealed

Return to assail me
To guide me
Instruct, unveil me.

Again, I beg, plead
unsated
As you take your leave
