-
my heart's a siren and your body's the sea
your heart's the sailor gravitating to me
and all the skin stretched over my bones will be your home
when it's time
my organs will pump and twist for yours
lungs and all synchronized in some sick symphony
it's all becoming clear as the casing of your eye
and you will swim to meet my sick song
every breath devotedly expelled to sing back
there is nothing amorous in our lyrics
just an understanding and an acceptance
and our tongues will stop forming vowels to become acquainted
some first impression, our bodies will defy ourselves
starboard and overboard and there is nothing else
i will paint your figure in bauhaus fashion
map out your every thing and drenched in colored oils
will dissolve into your sea, and once i've swam
i will never resurface alive again.

- Beautiful imagery. You certainly have a firm grasp on the use of metaphor.
