Mesmer

let me tell you another story

let the tone of my voice
deep and soothing
lull you

let my cadence
the weight of my words
the sound of each syllable
paint you an elusive picture
beyond their plain meaning

come, love
look into my eyes
without restraint
that I may have
another avenue
into you

relax your defenses
let down your guard

trust

do not realize
only
submit

as your pulse finds its beat
to my spoken tune
your eyes begin to glaze
lids drooping ever so slightly

the lucid impression of each word
the tones I bring you
become more vivid
than what you see

my nearness to you
is merely a dream
my fingers
unbuttoning your blouse
are only imagination
my caress
is but your own ghostly desire

my voice, my eyes
are all you know

kneel, my love

you only faintly notice
that you have
parted your lips
for me

for me
for
me

with a passing thought
you understand
that I will
possess you

let my taste
my scent
my very essence
fill your senses

savor, my love
that you will always remember
that you will forevermore
be changed

taste the pulse of my heart
that yours
may beat in time

accept
all
of me

hands gently upon your hair
deep quiet affection in my voice

I reveal your absolute willingness
that you did not know
deeper
than you thought possible
to your very soul

your vision cloudy
eyes nearly too heavy to open

know my growing strength
my tensing muscles

I will penetrate
your last reserve

abandon yourself
to my
ownership

swallow me, my love
surrender
swallow

you will not
be free
again
