Never satisfied
she passes through the night
of my dreams
demanding expression
seething
pacing
chasing
In my every lucid thought
she speaks....

I feel her presence, and I tremble
I try in vain
to keep her tame
docile
confined
within the parameters
of my world....
defined!

Oh, but she will not obey
Must have her way
her say...
she lurks
she breathes
she waits
prowling
growling...
ever ready
to pounce
and seize me unaware
she is always
always there....

Not a moment escapes
when I don't feel her near
she reveals herself...
in the words I say
in the way I sway
in the way I play
night to day
she's there
having her way
with her helpless prey
to win?
There's no way...

Elektra
is her name
domination is her game
she knows no shame
Untame...
She stakes her claim


She lives 
I feel her moist breath on my cheek
I feel her hands make my weak
Her whisper in my ear...
I hear...
oh...so... clear...

"I'm Here....
waiting
waiting
waiting...
for full control
Not a part
but the whole...
I demand your soul...

SET ME FREE!"

Very awesome verse!!! The fires of inertia and domination rising to take over...who can resist her? Electra is a cool name for your alter ego. I'm adding this one to my favs! Always, Laura

HI, Mark. Your question has been a great source of discouragement for me. It's Ok. I write and let what happens happen. You are very kind to visit me and to leave such a dear comment. Bless you.

In the picture she looks like a female Jack Sparrow. Sometimes the one we fear can indeed set us free. I like how you wrote this from a male perspective.

Oh...it is not from a male perspective, Richard. The author is addressing the hidden woman who rides within....and now and again...makes her presence known. Thanks for reading. I had another fantastic picture for this, but it was a bit too provocative so I had to go with the lesser of the two. You know how people make a fuss about sensual and not about nasty. Boggles my mind. Anyway...I refer to her as Electra...this inner woman, and I was so surprised when I found out she is a comic book character. Black hair....how appropriate. :) Hugs
