Un Crime a Minuit

I awakend in the dead of night passionate desires nibbled hunger and thirst, consumed me A Mayan princess was of no use to me now I, who was king, became a slave to my lustful desires Gargoyles and the devils helpers would fall at my feet, in death yes in triumph I marched forth, eyes aglow, at the pastries I would devour Note: The Title in English means "A Crime at Midnight" yes since childhood I am guilty of this crime!!!

Arthur, I really had no idea where this was going as the suspense built quickly and intensified. Then, upon learning of your crime, I wanted to reach for something sweet. We are both guilty of the same crime, but few are innocent enough to prosecute us. Smiles Carolyn

Nice poem; I'm glad that you explain. I thought it meant - a crime a minute, but than that could happen too. Thanks for sharing.... Lucilla
