We made love last night
Innocently, in snow white sheets
And when we left to travel the world together
I suddenly felt weak in the knees
.
I faked the fainting spell
To cast a spell over you
I was awake the whole time
And then wondered why we were through
.
I’m tired of running in circles
Of never quite getting it right
I’m tired of being all wrong
For you and for all
Of awakening such fright
.
If giving up my Fremen blood
Meant being loved by you
I’d slash my wrists myself, my love
Then offer my neck to you
.
But the trouble is, my love
You’re scared of me, either way
Whether I’m dove or demon
Breeze or storm
You can’t tolerate me in my pure form
.
So I continue existing
As a vial of Water around a barbaric deity’s neck
Until such a time as I’m poured down your throat
My one true love, my Kwisatz Haderach
.
And when that day comes, my love
We will both look within crying
“Father! The Sleeper has awaken!”
.
We made love last night
In a non-prescient dream
We made love on oniric simulflow
Where it’s worth only heartache and then nothing at all
.
This is me reaching up for you
Reaching into the Coriolis storm
Because I’m becoming Kralizec, my Strong One
And only a Fremen can save this Fremen woman
From becoming less than nothing at all
