Hope Beyond the Rope

Sebastian hangs at the end of a rope,
crows pecking hungrily at his blue eyes!
For her tomorrow, is now filled with hope

When he had reached deep between her thighs.
In the dark she imagined just one thing,
crows pecking hungrily at his blue eyes!

The sight of his blue eyes made her heart sing.
She felt a warm sensation down below.
In the dark she imagined just one thing.

What she desired was gentle and slow.
Sebastian had painful things on his mind.
She felt a warm sensation down below!

Within his room, there forcibly confined.
Her screaming was like music to his ears.
Sebastian had painful things on his mind.

He kept her there for many many years.
Her screaming was like music to his ears!
Sebastian hangs at the end of a rope.
For her tomorrow is now filled with hope!

Thanks Donna, this is not a preference in writing. I prefer somewhat happier pieces.

Well, you have to stay up late and feast on spicy food to come up with ones like this. The imagery invites and its implications tantalize.

Whoa...the Terzanelle king strikes with a dark write. Very disturbing images. Saw your reply to Eileen...a pity this won't make it. Impressive, nonetheless, Rick.

I went back and read the rules and this one does not meet the rules. Just like a man to write first and read later, *lol*.
