The Joys of The Flesh.

 

The Joys of the flesh are captivating,

I can see my other self

Through the mirror of your eyes

Your fire burns more brutally

As we approach the threshold

Of the sublime

 

I wanted to navigate

Through the unholy waters of your desires

But now I find that I am caught

Between the straitsof Scylla and Carybdis.

I tried to reproduce myself

And rewrite my feelings

Because I thought they were

The messages of the Almighty.
