Asylum
How can you hide?
What is so evident, so clear that it wears on your skin like boils?
Even as you think, you dream, the kiss is like honey, but eats you like poison-ivy
Like a man hanging by a thread over a cliff, is this love a dangerous thing that will haunt me for all eternity?
Just a bit longer to make it
Just a bit … a little bit longer
What is it to define the limitation of passion?
What is so evident that it threatens to incinerate everything?
Whereas you think that the touch shivers your skin
And kisses burn your lips like a lovely spice
Deliriously tucked away in an memory, but like it
You’re tucked away in a padded room
Is it just a bit longer now?
Why is it so dangerous holding the thing which is painfully obvious?
When you think, you dream, the touch brings your world to the knees
Like a man to die on Old Sparky
And the electric embrace of the taboo drowns me in pleasure, pain and desire like BDSM
With suspense that’s pounding and clouding my head
The moment is… at hand…
And so it comes, like lovers in throes
Spasmodically, the evidential truth cannot be hidden;
But, like Christ, would you deny yourself
Deny me?
For all powers of passion,
The truth is my liberty
And my prison
