Bewitched

Our bells rung 
Our books shut
Our candles blazing

Water will not protect us
Nor houses keep us safe

Love knows no impasse
It's egress assured

The coldest cockle warms
And the most brave shudders

Love demands submission
The answer is to bow

For we revel in its fetters
Delighting in our erotic machinations
