Analysis of seeking
My body
Is the landscape
Over which
You wish to roam
Explore
Discover
New territory
To claim for your own
I am no longer an easy surrender
Conquistador
Adventurer
Be tender
In your approach
And I may let you enjoy
For too many
Would-be conquerors
If they cannot possess
Will seek instead
To destroy
