Twining embrace,
Twisting in pain.
Leather and lace,
Hot rivers cried in vain.
Lover's caress,
So soft, not enough.

Burning with desire
Smoldering with rage
Fiery with passion
Flushed from exhaustion

Embrace beliefs,
Humanity and morale,
Sins and temptation,
Anger and hatred,
Love and compassion,
Hope and sensation;
All symbolism of faith.

Embrace --
