[P:] YOU have COME here

_in pursuit of your DEEPest urge

_in pursuit of that WISH which till now

..has been SIlent

SIlent . . .

I have brought you

_that our passions may FUSE and merge

_in your mind you've alREAdy

..succumbed to me

DROPPED all defenses

comPLEtely succumbed to me

NOW you are here with me

NO second thoughts

..you’ve deCIded

deCIded . . .

PAST the point of NO return

_no backward GLANces

the GAMES we've played till NOW

_are at an END . . .

PAST all thought of IF or when

_no use reSISting

aBANdon thought

and LET the dream deSCEND . . .

_what raging FIRE shall flood the SOUL

..what rich deSIRE unlocks its DOOR

..what sweet seDUCTon

..lies beFORE…US

PAST the point of NO return

..the final THREShold

what WARM unspoken SEcrets

..will we LEARN

beYOND the point

..of NO reTURN

[C:] YOU have

BROUGHT me

_to that moment where WORDS run dry

_to that moment where SPEECH disappears

into SIlence

SIlence . . .

I have

COME here

_hardly knowing the REAson why

_in my mind i’ve alREAdy

..imagined our BOdies entwining

deFENCEless and silent

and NOW i am here with you

NO second thoughts,

..i’ve decided

deCIded . . .

PAST the point of NO return

_no going BACK now

our PASsion-play has NOW

at last beGUN . . .

PAST all thought of RIGHT or wrong

_one final QUEStion

how LONG should we two WAIT

before we're ONE

when will the BLOOD begin to RACE

the sleeping BUD burst into BLOOM

_when will the FLAMES

at last, conSUME….US

[P+C:] PAST the point of NO return

_the final THREShold

the BRIDGE is crossed, so STAND

..and watch it BURN . . .

we've PASSED the point

of NO reTURN….

........THANK YOU.........
