It is a raging lion; starved for weeks
A consuming wave; not a shore in sight
You crave despite yourselves
Never satisfying; never enough

It’s a mesmerizing drumbeat, Da Dum
Enchanting; calling out to you; Da Dum
A battle of will ensues
Rhythm dictates your moves
A continuous dance of the cycle of life

As certain as the flow of the Ganges River
Demands as much power as besting Ms. Everest
Specific for each; for you and your mirror

I feel something is lacking, and that I left things hanging, but I gave it my best.
