Peel back the layers of my intricate emotions,
cast aside the blanket that you imagine covers my sin.
Delve deep into the marrow of my deposition,
there you shall find the clarity you seek deep within.
Unravel the threads of doubt that threaten to blind you,
then bury yourself in the intensity of my every desire.
Break all barriers that you think forbade your entrance,
come into my hearth to stoke the coals of my inner fire.
Peer into sepia eyes, into the retina of my spirit.
Taste the fullness of lips that whispers euphoria into your heart.
Touch the fingers that eases the tension from your body,
and releases tentacles of passion that infuse your every part.
Never doubt what I feel, don't dare embrace the trepidation.
Know that you are ensconced in the breast of my ecstasy.
Let not incredulity steal another breathe from your soul.
Take comfort, for I bathe in the reality of you as my destiny.
