letters to you - 2

dearest,

i see the ishamael in you,

both -

the abandoned one from genesis

the lone survivor created by melville!

there is rescue somewhere,

i crave to give you strength

as your mind boggles at the spectacle

of the two of us,

too close yet far away from each other.

bold lover! will you never kiss me?

can you not see my lips yearning for you?

can you not hear my body crying out for you?

can you not feel my heart longing for you?

there is rescue here,

come! reside in me,

i will be your slave

and you my master!

forever yours,

wife-to-be
