Dawn and Dusk

I will swallow thee like my favourite pill,

Your presence in me blossoms so real,

I will keep you there in my round tower;

As long as I have you within my power;

So drop your heart at my footstep,

I will watch over it till sunset

But at dawn the beauty can once again sleep

Until dusk again I will wantonly take the deep

Let me swim through thy endless sea,

I wont gas out until I have that deal,

Where we can twine like butterfly and lily,

With my fingers in thy locks 

What again can I do to pin you down?

Wantonly I want thee forever and now;

Thy fire has consumed deep down my spine,

Let me burn till I made you mine.

Between dawn and dusk is you,

Each day you blossom anew,

For now I will watch you sleep;

Till dusk again to ecstasy we leap
