Virgin you were
Until my first stroke
The pristine caress of my trembling fingers
Opened you to my heart
To feelings that had never seen the light of day
Much less this night
And once so touched, you wanted, demanded more
More of myself to be laid upon you,
Poured into you, echoed through you
Until all that I am and have been
Before this moment, belonged to you
Captured forever by a graceful hand,
Eternally sacrificed upon your altar
It was only then I realized -
Virgin I was
Trading a forgotten innocence
For this instant of immortality
