Tryst
Through darkened Wood she leadeth me
The silent waters bye;
Anxiously a bat does flitter
And serpent slithers nigh.
"Correct my speech, and clear my mind,
Another lover you. Tarry from our troubles here
And take me into you. . ."
Her firm embrace and heaving breasts
Without a thought or care
Nor sees she stars and Moon that passes;
Her eyes are fixed on mine.
A snail makes forward progress.
A branch has fallen there.
A mosquito in a web is caught
And spider hurries near.
"Forget me not. I'll not you.
This tryst we must keep hidden.
And soon you'll find some other wench
To please you as I do. . ."
The moss that we had lain upon
Remarked upon us not.
A fish then jumped in river near;
And we prepared us to depart.
