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
