Sire Me.

A myth
All that you were
A spectre
Of ink and imagination
A wish between my pages
For so long I believed in you
And now I know you’re real
A desire
What you have become
A need
My eager blood thrums
A pulse waiting
For so long I waited for you
And now I know you’re near
My love
I bare myself to you
My virgin neck
Unmarred and pure
A willing servant
Too long I’ve lived without you
And now you are my end
Sire me
And be my new
Beginning
