To Touch a Goddess

Men who can not handle her, Can not handle her love nor rod, Lose their minds to madness, Reduce themselves to human core, Wild beasts who light fire, To try to keep her close, And end up scortched. Wild fire burns, Her golden wheat dies, Just to touch her once, They let sanity leave their minds.

I can hear the screams of their desperation, I can see their minds tumbling far away, they know not that Goddess heeds no beggars..."Reduce themselves to human core..." EXCELLENT! I love you when you're darkly passionate, telling of obsession's consequences Jay...J.A.B. FAV.
