Be Mine Alone

Paraffin pours on my nervous system, you laid a match to it with your smile; and it flared and roared and burned with every advance you spurned; I collapse into ashes and blood, swirled away an inflammatory flood of tearful beseeching and craving from a soul that begs for saving; and my love crowned a fool on a throne, won't you please be mine alone? Emollient smiles on my ragged life, you salvaged all of me just by being; you soothe and tend and heal with a sumptuous, soft appeal; I cascade into dreams and desires with a singing of harpsichord wires; sweetest spasms of longing and aching in a heart that is yours for the taking; you have touched everything I have known, won't you please be mine alone?
