desire rips through my veins
creating those tantalizing pains
body aching for that touch
the most throbbing, sensational crutch
needs never to be fulfilled
Pandora's Box must always stay sealed
epic wars of will to fight
anything to avoid that fire blight
temptation must be endured
cannot allow ourselves to be lured
dance to this lyric alone
swaying along this littoral zone
waves launder away your face
the sea mist saving me from disgrace
yields the need of clarity
reason drowns the call of rarity
in the crash I hear your song
but these feelings I cannot prolong
I give you this last caress
this intense passion must be repressed

by Alison Mac
Deeper deeper, lets stain the floor red
Englulfing engulfing, thoughts in my head
Promises promises, unable to keep.
