My feelings a temple
My body a shrine
In your honor

Carve your secrets with your fingers deep into my skin

Light the candles in my eyes with your raging flames

Teach me the anthem of your name for me to sing
for me to scream
in a voice of sheer emotion

Touch me with your Midas hands
make me glow like gold
make me hard like gold

Hold me with chains of sapphires and emeralds so I never leave

Hold me with chains of sapphires and emeralds so you never grieve

Arms lifted, eyes wide, lips plumped, hair pulled, skin smothered

Watch me beg you for everything but mercy
