Cleave: Taste
______I long to taste my lover once again
Such sweet desserts I’ve tasted from the bottle
Though never have my senses ceased to dance
___Because my love as many times before
__Has never spoken she keeps me on my back.

______to me before in some surprise
________I go to bed and in my dreams
_____I rest my head by moonlit streams
______I find a sleep I hold a peace
