Find Me

Find me irresistible
With need that is insatiable
Then brand me with desire
Lick these wounds of fire
I know not what to do
Love me ‘til the grave
My flesh is not so brave
As wit contends with you
One kiss, one hint of breath
Might save this soul from death
Immortal, I would be
Oh my beloved, come
I’ve waited so long; run
To lie accompanied
Then as a feather, brush
Me in the gentle hush
Of love’s essential need
And I, alone with you
Will then know what to do
With what you offer me
