Sequester My Heart

Hold me close, my darling, the Venus of my heart,

in that warm magical chamber of your arms

that our love would be the only shelter

where I wouldn’t have a pulse should I wander.

 

Without you, I am, but a frail wisp in breath

for your beauty is the balm that heals my life,

and takes my spirit from the cold emptiness of night

to thrive and glow when warmed by your caring flame.

 

Wrap me in your silky, sultry caresses

as delicate gossamer tangles in touches,

gently binding all that is inside my being,

utterly and completely in devotion.

 

Oh my beloved other half of my soul

keep me far from the unbearable pain in longing

should I know too many moments without your kisses,

surely withering forever as a dying leaf.
