Irreconcilable Paradox

You kneel at her feet, and you roll on his lap. You kneel and roll. My Love, are you androgynous, genderless or genius? Shhh! Whisper to my ears. Can you continue this – double game? At war you cry for heroic blood; yet sometimes, you moan, run round my feet, and howl aimlessly at Moon. Shhh! Whisper to my ears. Can you continue this – double game? In kingly mansions, you chimed perfect rhymes for their pleasure; lulled them in a trance; and simply picked leftovers. Here…Now you SIGH. Creating Herculean clouds of sigh, You SIGH to relieve our agonies... and hunger. Shhh! Whisper to my ears. Can you continue this – double game?
