Once removed the stimulations
Obstacles and hesitations
Trans the content, timeless wide
Fray away the pain denied

To the richness one becomes
From the gifts exchanged it sums
Taken into shallow tombs
Set at last in unwalled rooms

If the pain of love a drink
Orgasmic in a brilliance pink
Would I not be drunk to death?
Giving all to sip its breadth

For to know the burn so deep
One must fall in heart blind leap
Into the mist of all unknown
Then once removed, to stand-alone

And I have drawn upon the wine
From every side a way of mine
To hold instead a richer cup
The blood of love to fill me up

Enjoyed the write TD.  Multi layered and rich in inspiration.

well, I can't stand the thought of blood in great amounts, I enjoyed this, but overall, made me shiver.
