Stolen Lovers

LOST LOVERS

THE RAIN IS THE MATTER.
IT’S WATER TEEMING ABUNDANT

WITH WILD ABANDON
THE LOVERS SURRENDERED

WITH COMING AND
GOING SUCKLING THRILLS

UPON STOLEN PASSION
THE PASSION’S THE MATTER

FLOODING AND FLASHING
SHEETS OF DESIRE

OVERLAPPING 
AGAINST 

BUTTERY SHORES
IN WAVE AFTER WAVE

BRINGING UNDULATION AND
SPREADING SEA OVER-LAND

DRAGGING THEM DOWN UNDER 
HIDDEN PLACES THEY BUILT

STILL YET, THEY THOUGHT THE 
STARS AND HEAVENS APPROVED

EVEN THAT PROVED DEFENSE-LESS 
AGAINST IT’S SCUTTLE- BY GUILT.

It metaphorically sound and uses subtle water references that builds up tension
