My Mystery Woman (poem)

My mystery woman

Face me and stare
Lay your body bare
So I can run my hands
Across your wondrous lands

Embrace me with your kisses
Let me grant your wishes
Take advantage of me
Make me fall real deep

So that when I breathe again
I won't want it to end
Even if I'm dying
I'll smile as I'm crying

My mystery woman

I almost know who you are
Although your heart is far
You carry me like clouds on wind
You give me reason to sin

My mystery woman

Will you reveal yourself?
Will my heart find health...
When you wash your hands of me?
When you kill the drum of my heartbeat?

My mystery woman...
