You take me so deep inside,
the lion's share of a demanding heart,
mine as the night gathers around us.

Something has been awakened in you,
to encompass this blooming fray,
we dare not give it a name,
such hunger prowls and pounces,
feeds far beyond where words
have the power to breach.

And as you drift away from safe quietude,
petals tender before the flowering,
before the inner frenzy of nectar flows,
coiling within no longer as we scream to life.

The silence was beginning to kill me,
our secrets once made us dangerous,
I need every sound that you make,
the beautiful whispers and broken music.

I need to have all of you.

To be taken so deep inside
the lion's share of a demanding heart,
yours as the night encircles us.

Something ruthless has been awakened,
we dare not name this singular need,
the tender petals glistening with sweet dew,
the nectar that coats a rocketing thrust,
such want is an irreversible hunger
finally beginning to understand itself.

Once you drift away from such quietude,
nothing can ever remain the same,
we will either be dangerous shadows
or luminous beacons strobing,
returning together from the brink.

The silence was beginning to crush us,
we need to be overwhelmed with sound,
your beautiful whispers and my broken music,
our secrets delicately coursing through verse.

I have to know what comes after the burning flash,
the electric shivers in our comedown,
I have to know what will survive,
what will haunt us once flesh reluctantly departs.

I need to have all of you.
