do you understand love
would you shape yourself
mold your spirit
to fulfill anothers needs
would you become seamless
let another overtake your soul
and laugh at the joy of it
should there be shame at this feeling
acknowledging this need
to crave the flesh
the heart of another
is never a sin
control is not ours in this matter
love is a cruel
sometimes kind mistress
who whispers to us
in the dark of night
caring not
who she lures
through this web
so embrace her
let her soothe your fears
denial will not keep her
from seducing your soul
touch the flame
that burns brightest
stop the yearning that you feel
kiss the fire in the darkness
