Favoured Frenzy
Lust between two lovers should be
like the quiet space between two notes.
To anyone listening from the outside,
it must only sound like love
a soft, seamless melody.
Only the two hands on the keys
should feel what happens in that silence:
the hidden heat, the breathless pause,
the fire resting between the sounds.
Take away that quiet space,
and the whole song turns into noise.
You cannot pull them apart.
Lust is the strike upon the string;
love is the sweet note that stays.
One gives the warmth, the other gives the breath...
The world hears only the music;
only the two playing know
that where the body ends
and the soul begins,
no line was ever drawn.
