Where did you come from?
This rendezvous caught me
Totally off guard
Because I didn’t consider
You would choose me
With such a natural regard
Where did you emerge from?
My first glance of you
An interrogation began within myself
My cognition was flooded
With actions of iniquity
Shouldn’t your origin come
From the clouds
Where Greeks god’s like
Zeus, Apollo, Aphrodite reside
Did you step down to this earthly realm
To undertake many acts of salaciousness
Enticing me with your
Unfathomable echo
Your aurous and creamy complexion
Now you will turn me into your vixen
To surrender to your
Sensual ascendancy
But in my unconscious mentality
You captured me by your traits of amity
Under no circumstances
Did I presume
That your influence
Would happen so soon
No, don’t get it misconstrued
I’m not asking for a ring
I just want to worship
You as my god king
Engulfed in immoral pleasures
Wherever and whenever you want
Regardless of any type of weather
Indeed you are a divine being
Commanding authority
So I will never think about leaving
Her supple and shapely silhouette rests submissively
as the luster upon the soft satin sheets arouses
sensual images of salaciousness beneath the sheen surface
My empty yet enduring eyes slowly engage the darkness
eager to embark upon the elusive lines energizing the elation
as a sojourning moon entices her to endear
Her excelling exuberance... exploited on exhalation
exposing her explicitly, exemplifying the excerpt
of an exonerated experience as the moonlight expires
Lifeless, I lie here
On the bed of lust
Under the beefy quilt
of mounting shame
With oozing hurt
And fading flame
To feed your lechery
with drops of salaciousness
Behind the closed doors
of raging prurience
As the rays of sun melt
In the heart of burning sky
I lay self down in gloom
And crouch down at your sight
As I bow, you drag me down
To feed your hungry soul
With the tender flesh
Of my puerile charm
And strangled glow
when the moon shines
Over the dying remains
Of my ebbing mind
