Love-Warning

It opens the mind
and wraps you in warmth
and melts the body
to be one with the sea
and the waves of pleasure lap at you
and you flow
one with the currents all around.
It’s a riptide
pulling you in
drawing you closer
and releasing you spent
and breathless
empty
dead to the pain
made of nothing but the pleasure
ringing in your ears
in your mind
pulsing in your body.
I will sing
and you will come.
It may end you
but to hear my song
will make your mortal life complete.

(Franka Hayes)
