All Needs More

Before exploration, encounter ran its course
She wanted simplicity, he tended to soul search 
Vixen and Mr. Marriage sprung from alternate reason 
Ship containing contradiction was destined to lurch

Pledge of sledge hammer sex initially extended
Revoked by omnipresent insecurity 
Prowling for night of abandon, unquenched lust driven
Met his wall built by fear, founded in obscurity 

Decay of a dream, mismatched to hers, devoid of care
Love to a morphed charicature, - what motivation? 
Superfluous term of submissive whimsy's windblown
Self worth held no place for emotional temptation 

Rusted hinges swung between satisfied and longing
Chance to be susceptible to tenderness, renounced
By transient track spanning decades, independent 
Her resilience rode solo strengths in endless amounts
