by the waterfall

siren song

I dreamed you asked me in to play
Your master, lover for a day.
Your eyes danced in excitement and
You licked your lips
Anticipatedly,
Thinking I would take you where
You'd never been before -
You'd beg for more.

I dreamed you spoke of pleasure then
And when to stop; then we began
Your body writhed in yearning and
You took off all your clothes
Obediently,
Thinking I would take you
To a place you'd seen but
Never been before.

I dreamed we danced in ecstasy
A truer match there'd never been
I taught your body to embrace
The knife which I allowed
Judiciously
To trace your body's lines
And then to leave its bloody lines
The tide upon your shore.

But then I woke and turned to see
The empty shell you left for me
When the fire started burning
And we both became consumed -
I don't make contracts or weave nets
My skills are not so delicate
It's not just pleasure that I seek
But how to lose my self that's weak -

So careful, dear, before you dare
To share the dreams you have of care
I might be in a mood to dance;
I might be in a different trance -
If I see fear within your eyes
Then all my promise turns to lies
And maybe then I go too far -
And your ashes end up in my jar.
