My mind fills with images
My body tenses and vibrates
With anticipated sensations
With imagined caresses
Oh, what a cruel and blissful awaiting it is
I can’t think of anything else
But these waves of pleasurable energy
That will bridge my limbs together and fill my brain
Until any other thought than bliss is shadowed
Eliminated for a long moment where pure ecstasy exists
Each of my cells is awaiting you
Move yourself and come to me
For your cells too are dancing this mad dance in unison with mine
Come, come to me
The night is long
The moon is dark
The wind is cold and whispering
And warm and encouraging
Come, come to me
Fulfill your craving with mine
Stop being afraid and reticent
Send prudence to the devil, and come
For one night, forget all your fears
Forget there can be consequences
Forget the entire world and forget who you are
For one night, just be yourself
Be yourself with me, but forget that we are together
Be yourself for yourself
For one night forget who you are, who you think to be
For one night, let go of every constraint and every thought
For one night just listen to the craving of your body
Act within your body, become your body as though there was no tomorrow
This night is eternity
Don’t go to sleep and come to me
Come to me
And together let’s dance this dance of pleasure
This dance that awakens the fire and water and clay and wind sleeping within us
This dance where the compass loses the north and the clock stops
This dance where we are free within our wildest craving, within our own pleasure
Abandon yourself to the cloaking embrace of bliss and ecstasy and come to me
Come to me, for that’s the only thing that matters tonight
