Eternal

A bit dark... may yet be editing this one. Not sure where such words came from, really. I am unsure on the title, as well.

Eternal

I pray not for us to be together,

for that is too easily arranged.

No, I pray that you should want me, too

and then, in the morning,

offer me your budding lips

so I do not have to take them.

 

In the night, feed me your tongue

slowly, wetly, passionately,

so as to satiate the visions I see in dreams.

And then, when I awake,

you should awaken also

and lend yourself to me without mistrust.

 

I am wooed by your power

but I am also wooed by my power to take it from you.

Death is too sweet a thing, my beguiler;

my arrested mistress, you are mine as much as your own.

Treat me as an incubus, if you are not my equal:

fear me enough to let me have you.

 

Enough tears cannot be wept for freedom;

freedom is earned--freedom is a reward!

Tears are only a further attraction.

Perhaps this is why you no longer oblige me with them.

You work to crucify me still!

I almost miss your shouts as much as I enjoy your silence.

                                  

It does not have to be so.

I yearn for nothing more than to have you humbly,

but you will not allow me this fantasy,

and therefore I will not allow you your fantasies.

Just love me. Love me and we can be true,

love me and we can be eternal.

 

Your defiance is the only sin.

I do not ask so much of you.

If we could have each other, I could be so happy--

if you could only yearn for me as I, you.

You were... so endearing in your innocence.

Yes, the death of your innocence is truest.

 

Blessed be our love.
