Apothecary

How do I do this?
By opening my mind
Allowing you to caress it
Feeding on your desire
Tho' I would suppress it
By piercing your heart
Penetrating your soul
I've learnt a little
About the whole
By learning that pleasure
Shares the body with pain
Like marbled flesh
And a silken membrane
2 wounded souls
Our bloodied stain
Of remembered pains
Repentant thrusts
Of dark memories
Fuel for our lust
Accepting of you
As you embrace me
This voiceless man
From an inverted land
Who wrote this piece
With a trembling hand
Has learnt from you
How to be
An Apothecary
