Lost In You

My hips sway to the rhythm of your heart Oh, to have a touch so ethereal That my body trembles In anticipation Have you made a pact with my soul? To steal my heart in exchange For my utter surrender For I have no comprehension No perception No understanding This is my predicament Use me, abuse me, Love sent to confuse me Sanctified by some intoxicating compulsion Lulled into a sweet acquiescence For which there is no escape Is this my Abaddon? Or is this my Shangri la? This mythical dream is unravelling my mind All of your breath Inhaled into my essence Until you inhabit all of me In that moment I am lost

Such a moving and heartfelt poem, Paula! and that last line ended it perfectly I think-- to be lost in love, a feeling that many can relate to... nikko :)
