Channelling Eros


 **Lord Eros Speaks**


(A lone seductive voice whispers)


Why must the soul within you all


Constantly seek out momentous soul-defining emotions 


Require it so damn deep

Sometimes foregoing sleep


Covet and desire extraordinary sensations to rebel wildly within


To show the many tragic watchers

Hiding in society's long midday shadows 


Those who fear that uncontrollable need to follow


That unconscious craving bound to sinful bargaining with me


Lord Eros


Which could ultimately destroy all they know like a raging volcano 


If my rosy pill called Ecstasy

They wantonly swallow  


Whilst lost in the throes and acts of physical thoughts 


Linked to carnal sin



Where in their soft arms 


We 

All things biological and spiritual linked to love 


Forever embodied in such as me


Sensational 

Uncivilised 


Unconventional and uncontrollable feelings which could eventually burn or break one in two 



Is that why my gift of devotion is such a powerful tool


For the Beguiled

The Abundant in humanity who throughout all eternity 


And even to this very glorious day

You call Sunday


It still wonderfully and eternally fools
