Obsession

her kisses are hisses
she's speaking in tongues
our marital bliss is
a scream of my lungs

her scales are imprinted
tattooed by her squeeze
and eyelids are tinted
with scandalous ease

forbidden desires
mix pleasure with pain
their ritual fires
can't make me abstain

each sinuous curve
demands my attention
I live but to serve
serve what? I can't mention

she draws out her hooks
I am chilled to the bone
and yet, as she looks
I'm, as always, to stone
