Mecca

The soft radiance of your skin wraps me in sepia sheets under which your Mecca lies.

I came to conquer and be conquered by.

Allow me to lay seige to your walls as you claw at me defenses,

Then take me by force for I am relentless.

You can condemn me for my sin of seeking your cryptic treasure,

But first gaze into my eyes and bear witness to true pleasure.
