Consumed Melody

Font Size

Steer me through rivers and tunnels, 
through the searing heavens to claim you, 
inside you as naturally as roots embedded, 
speared throughout the earth.

Wind and tangle around this need,
until I have sight for no one else, 
until no other longing envelopes me.

Play me just once now as the song you want, 
delicate hands plucking notes within, 
making a chorus of the air I expel, 
keeping this tune jealously to ourselves, 
wrapping the music our turbulent hearts 
to soothe us when the world dims.

Clasp around me through the dark hours, 
make me never forget 
the searing bliss inside you.

As naturally as stars flaring, 
lightning spearing through the earth.

Ride and clench around me until 
the sparks from your eyes leap forth, 
until no other sensation owns me. 

Claim me now and anytime you wish, 
the delicate unending chords plucked 
only resonate this way with you.

Wherever you steer me now, 
consume me slowly, 
consume me jealously, 
whatever melody suits you.

Whatever shakes your turbulent core.
