Oh, we scratch <br />I bite, you claw <br />The most arresting violence I have ever known <br />Takes place between these sheets of ours <br />As you growl <br />As I lash out <br />A stream of fire <br />I am a violent man, tonight <br />I am consumed by love <br />And lust <br />By love and lust for you... <br /> <br />Hair is pulled <br />Skin gets grazed <br />As we beat against the wall <br />As this takes place between us <br />You murmur, drunk <br />Senses highened and alive <br />As I spit out <br />A shower of crackling sparks <br />Oh! <br />I am a violent man, tonight <br />I am birthed again <br />In love and in lust <br />For you <br />In love and lust for you... <br /> <br />(2008)<br /><br />B..
