Simile, Metaphor (Accrostic)
So close to me there's you, like empty planet
Inviting me, as life to take its place.
My soul is bare and hot like melting granite
Invading you while hard'ning in your space.
Like waves I rise, like rivers I run deep.
Engulfing me like ocean storm you rise.
(May I say this?) I quake that fault you keep
Enslaved to virtue, now it's stable vice.
Taboo? No more. Your orbit's changed, you're free!
Around me you revolve, but it's your choice,
Perhaps because my world by your decree
Hovers only powered by your voice.
Orig'nal's not this sin we gladly share.
Repel two equals should, but join we dare.
