fountain of purity

unmarked, scarred

unwanted, bought

overpriced, underprivileged

never seen, faded

yet always bright in your eyes

shadows upon tasteless tongues

burning with desire

each sense bursting with light

clouded eyes that dare not wake

wander

wondering at the sights their vision

will not bestow upon them

blinded and all seeing

your wisdom falls upon me

as if your essence were showers of rain

that sooth my uneasy breath

and cool the anxiety beneath my breast

but your eyes glow; ready to devour me

your lips curve at my desire

your teeth, sharp as shards of glass

tear at the ambition of my stoic heart

swallow the blood and take it

for within me it can only cause harm

maybe if it lies within your purity

it will soak in your water

ah

that i may drink from this fountain

and taste the love that is sprung there

and forever live in the passion of your being
