The flowing waters of Eros

Traversed the infinite space

Where cold and stoic I lingered

Far from warmth’s embrace

 

Slowly, thus intrigued,

Approached the seeming cause

Of my dismantling

Without a care or pause

 

She walked amongst the field

And knelt beside this river

To quell a ravenous thirst

And to her lips deliver

 

A taste of such consumption

The fruit of that forbidden

A world that is but dark

When from her eyes is hidden

 

Yet did I behold in you

A tempting trail of thought?

What is it that bewilders me?

This heart unraveled and fraught

 

And when is time to cease?

For thus I know not how

Consume, devour, and exhaust me

In the forever that is now

 

And cast me as a star

Amidst the celestial sphere

To be a light that guides you

Until I disappear

 

To be a river within you

That pulses through your veins

Quivering with calidity

Lost in your refrains

 

For the flowing waters of Eros

Traversed the infinite space

And life was lived anew

When I beheld her face
