Subdued
...for now...
but when I please
I will—with ease—
make my arrival loud and known.

A gentle and low simmer
...to start...
but like the fire I am
I grow quickly to consume
your being entire
your thoughts, to obsess

Screaming, demanding
I force your submission
Unrelenting
Subdue me you must, for I shall not
be ignored
Never ignored
Your utter attention is required
in quenching me
Your strength—the last of it—
will you use to bring me
    once again
to calm
Only when you have nearly blacked
will I depart and subside
abated and
    once again
subdued.

...for now...

Subdued

...for now...

but when I please

I will—with ease—

make my arrival loud and known.

A gentle and low simmer

...to start...

but like the fire I am

I grow quickly to consume

your being entire

your thoughts, to obsess

Screaming, demanding

I force your submission

Unrelenting

Subdue me you must, for I shall not

be ignored

Never ignored

Your utter attention is required

in quenching me

Your strength—the last of it—

will you use to bring me

once again

to calm

Only when you have nearly blacked

will I depart and subside

abated and

once again

subdued.

...for now...
