“Stay…” She said softly
As I turned to walk away
“Please, won’t you?”
Her voice carried on as if it was the only sound I’d ever heard
So clear
So demanding
Yet soft and subtle
I stopped at the door
My jacket in hand
It’s already 3 AM
It’s already too late
My head was spinning from hours of her mental stimulation
and visions of her body
She held me tight
Like a sailor lost at sea
Clinging for life
and I was her lifeline
Our bodies merged in a merciless struggle to become one
We found our weary souls blazing new paths of love and excitement
Across the landscape of our flesh
Across the barrier of trust and doubt
“Why should I stay?” I asked hesitantly
“Because I need you” she said gruffly
“Because I know you want to” she whispered
Her voice
It called to me
Her voice
The Siren that Homer wrote about
My Siren
I must obey her call
I drop my jacket and walk slowly too her
I must obey her call
One last time
One more time tonight
It’s nearly daylight now
The time draws closer that I need to part
but I can’t separate myself from her
Our souls
Our bodies
Merging as one
Time and time again
Time after time
Meeting new gods and dispelling old one
Creating tiny universes and then destroying them
With the ever crushing blows of our bodies pushing into each other
Like the ocean waves crashing onto the shores of an undiscovered island
My love for her grew
Her love for me drew me in
and I surrendered to her
I surrendered to her will
and her body
and her mind
I surrendered
It’s the morning hour
I collect my thoughts
I collect my clothes
I pick my wrinkled jacket up from the floor
Where it’s lying in front of the door
I opened the door to leave
She beckoned once again
“Please, stay…”
and I surrendered
