Vertigo

I not only 
wish to make
love to you
I desire to 
share sleep with you...

Though I fear falling
a sort of vertigo
always fighting the voice
of eternal emptiness
terrified I defend...

Falling for your love
lies a separate passion
limited to only you
therefore I love you
seeking to share our sleep...

Of course I wish
to copulate with you
to beautify this void
my fear of tumbling
surrendering to the voice...

But you complete me
curing this vertigo
this fearful anomie
let us share our sleep
my slumber is with you...
