Channeling Eros


 Foundation of the piece.


Why do people get into relationships when they know deep down, it won't end well?


Are they under a spell?


Channeling Eros


(A lone voice whispers) 


Why must the soul within you all


Constantly seek out momentous defining emotions


Require it so damn deep


Covet and desire extraordinary sensations to rebel wildly within


To show the many sad watchers


Who fears that uncontrollable need to follow


That unconscious craving bound to ungodly bargaining


Which could ultimately destroy all they know if my red pill they swallow


Whilst lost in the throes of physical thoughts 

Linked to carnal sin


Where in their soft arms 


We 

Love embodied in such as me


Could eventually break you in two 


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


For the many in humanity who throughout all eternity and to this glorious day


It still wonderfully constantly fools
