Cresting The Waves Of Devotion

I need you
to silence me
to scold me
with a kiss, a caress, crack of the whip
when I can scarcely catch my breath
beneath that mist of salty sweat
beading down my marbled breast
glistening like those briny bubbles
cresting on the waves

I need you
to save me
with a candle with a flame
the wax falls where it may
let me tremble 'neath the pain
let me wriggle like a rattlesnake
sliding down beneath the wake
that valleys 'twixt the extasy
creasting on the waves

I need you
to enslave me
enrapture me
with but a whisper, with a whip
let it blister, let it rip
let it whistle till I slip
along the briny bubbles
cresting on the waves

Let the pain be shown in devotion
Crest me over the ebbing waves
Each strike a loving caress
Each mark the badge of love..
