His body is an effigy from fine marble made
Voice a siren call I’ve no desire to evade
I’ve made a sound decision in laying bare my heart
And bare he shall explore each and every other part

Oh, satisfying suitor
I am soothed at your embrace
As for your intentions
I shall take them at their face

My love’s a bloody ragdoll that’s been tossed about too long
But you come bearing suture ‘stead of stringing me along
My wary soul warms quickly by the crackle of your smile
How aptly years of pain did your kindness reconcile.
