Bathe

How ephemeral you are
You who slick my supple skin
In rapturous bursts of cleansing birth
And lavishly spread it, then with smiling claws
Purging touch of silken honey upon my heaving breast
While underneath with halted breath
I curse your inexorable delectation
The frivolous delight
Which shatters me with your lightest touch
I crumble absolutely
How trivial your furtive flirts
I know, yet somehow falter
Fall victim to sheer decadence

You will decay me with indulgence
Will over sate me until tidal brilliance seeps
In marvelous surplus
curtaining torrents over my climbing cusp
Tempt and sway my threshold no more
Release me from your sweet release
And strip me of these dulcet binds
Unfind me from your ceaseless joy
You are magnificent
You are maleficent
You are my vice
