Love and Desire

Love drew her in, his arms silken muscle open,
Desire in wanting him, yet her lust was afraid,
For love had an arrow, as strong as words unspoken,
Laying down on woven silk, fingers in her braid,
Love and desire mingled, to her heart was his arrow's potion.

Love's arrow ran through her in warming pulses,
Desire, body shuddering, her spices sweet with sweat,
Their bodies moved in rhythm's caresses,
His love won desire, her heart no feeling of threat,
Together in moment's time, it's graceful convulses.

Love lay within desire, their bodies one in time,
Fear replaced by wanton need, the arrow found it's path,
Two hearts, their bodies' rapturous paradigm,
Desire was conquered by love's own wrath.
