Hopscotch began life as a short sensual poem in 2018. This arrangement is inspired by Come To Me by Björk.

Listen to Come To Me by Björk

Come Come
.
Come to me
(Come Come)
Come to me
(Come Come)
.
Come to me
I yearn to taste the grapes of your desire
Turn and face the demon
Lean the way of ageless fire
Come to me
Embrace the flesh
The veinlets I bequeath
Better yet
Come nestle underneath
.
Come Come
Come Come
(Come)
(Come)
.
This night has teeth
The air it bites
Incisors keen
To tear aside
The husk of dusk
And glare inside
To where the fairest heaven lies
With lust
It thrusts
Robust
It slides
Just enough
To tantalise
Thus the husk be sanctified
Every head rush amplified
While candid eyes romanticise
Discovery by candle light
.
Come to me
Beneath quicksilver moon
While candelabra flickers
Trace the outline of my face
Apace
To make my heart beat quicken
Come to me
Embrace the flesh
The veinlets I bequeath
Make arcane provision
In my keep
.
In my keep
.
Come to me
(Come Come)
(Come Come)
Come to me
(Come Come)
(Come Come)
.
Here the river red runs deep
Every time the bled sun weeps
When fatigued legs become weak
Lending the caress some seek
Ceaseless are outrunning streams
Plumbing depths of stunning dreams
Thrumming wild eyed
Touching void
On the cusp
Discussing Freud
.
With just
It thrusts
Robust
It slides
Just enough
To blush my thighs
Pardon me
These lustful eyes
Alas
I simply must abide
.
Pardon me
These lustful eyes
Alas
(Come Come)
Alas
I simply must abide
.
Come to me
Do come inside
I yearn to taste the grapes of your desire
(Desire)
Turn and face the demon
Speak its name
And lean the way of ageless fire
.
Come to me
Beneath quicksilver moon)
.
Come to me
Embrace the flesh
The veinlets I bequeath
Grace the mystic river
Whilst we bleed
Whilst candelabra flickers
Plant thine seed beneath mine grate
Meet me at the great gate
Feel no wasteful need to placate
Reach with keen
In the display case
Place both hands around my heart
Feel it beat
Each time you see the art
Come to me
To where the end is ready then to start
.
Come Come
.
In my keep
.
