Trust

you mirthfully

submit to me

a moment's whim - just

for the hell of it



Tease

you are part of this

a victim not - an accomplice

you know it all

or so you think



Touch

of flesh and steel

your mystery - my mystery

reshaping pain

to ecstasy



True

to yourself now

complex outside just like inside

form deconstructed

glorified



Tears

to prove it real

you struggle - breathless - as you feel

a brush of fingers

down your soles



Time

to break the spell

return unscathed to the world

you do not think of

as a show
