Eyes that curve; the smile of a promise/ Our voices converse the wilds of the promise.

Come closer, what follows enchants the evening/ You're near--so close, beguiled by the promise.

What treasures await your deepest desires?/ How far will you venture--a mile for the promise?

The piercing needle drinks its fill before sharing/ Invading the body; defiling the promise.

We wonderers share a kindred spirit/ Our voices converse the wilds of the promise.
