The Visitation

Garden sentinel, carrion he’s stripping 
Woolf tail wagging white fangs ripping 
Stream-of-consciousness telling, spewing
Dog’s breakfast masticating, chewing

Mourning doves cooing, woo-OO-ing
Backyard cricket legs rubbing, chirping
Hot summer night simmering, squalling
Beginnings long day ending, waning

Winged silhouette floating, rising
Sleepy canine lies dreaming, chasing
The stranger rises--ascending, falling
Moonlight beaming, shadow stalking

Temptress appears emerging, merging 
Tip-toeing apprehensively disrobing 
Sonnets in Portuguese leather binding
Fanning pages dog eared, Browning

Arm extended reaching, grasping 
Reaps a sweet pear salivating 
Biting, sucking juices dripping
Raped senses senses raped
  
Rapture erotica 
RESIST SISTER!
Nibble, nibble
Fluids dribble
Fires sizzle
Nero’s fiddle 
Plays in-fidelity 

Forum stories burning, pages turning
Read on dear, dear read on
Groins churning tongues exploring 
Stranger disappearing, stealing

Into the night’s secret pages folding 
Apparition’s serpent slithering 
Lithe away twisting, vanishing 
Eve repenting, dawn rising

Righteous ebbing, malevolent trysting
Hew hay glorious Yahweh 
Angels singing, trumpets playing
Sins Original ne’er forgetting, e’er forgiving 

Lost haven, Milton’s paradise lost 
Rue the stranger, spare Adam’s rib
Lust’s garden grows at night 
Whilst gluttonous wolves too tired to bite

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
