She sauntered into my sphere with such sass and stealth /
that I could not help / but fearfully fall into her
scented embrace / and give her love a timid taste /
And for a while, I was she and she was me / We were we /
And we were one

I was Alice in her Wonderland / willfully wooed by her wiles /
eagerly entrapped in her eroticism / secretly seduced by her smiles /
And I consumed her and she me / As two metamorphosed
into We / As I was she and she was me / and We were We /
For We were One

Now I treacherously tumble and tremble / as I tearfully
try to take termination / With tender thoughts of
monumental moments / Reliving remnants of illicit elation /
When I was she and she was me / Love was We and We were
Love / Love was One and We were One / But now the me
that was she is gone
