Obedient

Blood pulsates in
Dark cadences and
Compelling chords
And demands to be heard
and fulfilled,
It does not know any further and linger.

Back now, dear little,
Guilty,
I will be mennen and endure.

After a long and fierce fight
I have finally been able to force you.
However, it remains an uncommon
and precarious agreement
And in all your singing
It's still a restless desire.

To my deep sorrow,
Are you the innocent of our two,
My own brave animal,
I carry you into
An endless offing.
