Our Rhythms

Let instinct guide you
Take my hand in yours
Take my lines in your palms
Wrap yours in mine

I lie fallow
Waiting

Split me
Devour me
Conquer me
Create magic in me
Push and pull me into your rhythm

Bury yourself
Further
Deeper
Lose yourself in me
Plant yourself inside me

You don’t need to look me in the eye
To know how deep into me you can fall

If you don’t take my offerings
Present your own

I will command you
Cover you
Envelop you
Devour you
Push and pull you in my own rhythm
Consume you whole as I please

You’ll be torn, undecided
Unable to choose between
Above or below
Persistence or reversal
Commander or commanded
Perseverance or surrender

In desperate need
I’ll choose for you

The night holds so few hours
Let’s make our offerings
Let’s make them count
