Reckless Desire

Reckless Desire You, exotic, erotic and so toxic. An attraction of contradiction Kiss me with lips of venom Their poison burning my mouth Your Dragon tongue a fire in my throat Kill me with your steely eyes their stare stabbing me with blades of contempt Your whisper chanting a spell of surrender A trance conjured to deliver me into a deep pit of sleep no means to escape the paralyzing delirium Your breath warm heavy on my skin. It's fingers trickling over my body In search of my soul to snatch away With the precision of a magician's hand. You my perpetual sin immune to absolution My ignored confession Drowned in a sea of voices By waves of prayers swimming in a crowded church I despise this love inflicting such a pleasured anguish This bond generating dangerous voltage The unbridled electricity in our passion Charged from a single spark Of reckless desire.
