Sins XVI

By Ld Marduk

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Know...that I am hungered,by desires...of the flesh,and a need...to hold thee, in my arms,And softly to caress—Thy body...which is sweet,as the fruit upon the vine...and I would drink of it,for I...but find that I’m--Enslaved...unto thy beauty,and the passions...I find there,for a moment...to partake of it,Would I...but truly dare—Face the gods...if such need be,that what I desire...be mine,that I might make...love unto thee,If only for a time—For to possess thee,though such...be a temptation,to woo thee...and seduce thee,So as to make thee mine—Is far too great a sin...for one mere soul to bear,even though the hunger...For thy pleasures still is there—My love for thee, is more,than mere lust...infatuation,though such...by nature, is my fate,and thus...is my damnation.
