Scarlet Letter

She was the queen and he her scarlet letter
He, once free, she would rightly fetter
With bonds so strong the past would be forced
To let breath the future
Blemishes and stains disappear like water down the drain
Pleasure and pain, the two in one, forever remains
Like dew after the purest rain
It’s insane the magic, as the wolf is seduced by the sheep
A touch so contagious it turns water to fire
He no longer runs, she’s become his desire
Higher, like on the wings of a phoenix soaring towards the sun
Together they burn and watch melt, that letter
Sown in sinew through tendon and flesh
The mark of what once was, embraced and forgotten
Replaced by something new, in silver and gold
It grows as they rest, under the full moon of unity
As night turns into day and day no longer exists
