Reckless

Lady
your temptation leads my flesh to a beggared hunger,
such craving burns restless,
so sweet these flames
kindled deeper than reason.

What is more haven than surrender,
or more reckless dream than innocent desire,
no burden it bears,
save lust.

I wanted a powerful ending when I read it. The piece on whole is fluent and extremely captivating, right down til the end where I felt it wasn't enough to stun me as stunning as the rest was.
