Savage Bargain

Savage Bargain

Where minds can meet and appreciate the pain

There is no science to explain the calm.

No need to delve and sweat the truth

Where mutual bonds pull brutal knots.

That we can doubt our waking lives,

So fearful in denial, yet take the risk we would.

But to tip these scales and drink desire

That such sweet surrender offers sinners,

And in such flesh-full fantasy

Throw caution to the winds that tug our mortal souls,

We drive a savage bargain.
