OF WHORES AND PALADINS:
The Harlot and the Holy Man:
When I return, I shall not forget the gifts of wisdom you have bestowed upon me. When I return, six white swans will loudly trumpet from the east, as twelve black ravens will call shrilly from the west; that in both life and death, that whatsoever is mine to offer or command, may it be put unto your service.
I am caught unwillingly, by the brilliance of your shining eyes; rendered dumbfounded suddenly at the slight suggestion of your curvaceous form, which burns me alive within a pyre of some thousand heady, meandering desires.

Constrained by the thought that opposites must thereby necessarily attract, this piece dwells upon the torn and tortured natures of desire, those both forbidden and divine.
