To love

to be loved

is a treacherous game

These bodies devoted

to wandering hands

fascination more potent

than reverie

Your fingers

bring to life

my eager, precarious heart

my once languid body

Your philter rushes

through my veins

as a great fervor

encompasses me

I sail your treacherous waters

tides of beauty, mystery

waters now tranquil

meet my placid eyes
