LOATHING


I loathe the myst'ry concealed in your eyes,
Because I cannot escape its lure;
I loathe the appeal of your blood-red lips,
Because I know 'twill always endure.

I loathe the cling of your body to mine,
Because its yielding consumes my soul;
I loathe the thrill of your whispered delight,
Because—I love you, beyond control.
