spiral affection

I-my pretty words for you -

liquid lips; round s w o l l e n lovers lies
      limp limbs
               words that rapture
leaking me into the creases of you
             fearful of compromise
surrender my
           thorns
I lay them to side
             gilded messiah
in-caged in your lusts
        refusal to see deeply into the r a v i n e  
chastened but unaware
