The Castle On a Hill
The Land Of Royal Monarchs


from the plains we see
the land of royal monarchs 
perched on a hilltop

draws us to the heritage 
of the blue blooded 

secret lives of kings
unveiled flamboyancy with
queens and courtesans

Sinful Sonnet
Courtesans and concubines
pristine ladies on neon signs
performing with pink panache
indulging in pleasures of the flesh
a rose-scented soft temptation
invoking desires and infatuation
crimson lights and skin like satin
inviting to a realm of forbidden passion
where sirens and succubae 
sing songs that satisfy
docile demons and superficial saints
peculiar clients with specific tastes
no judgements in our den of delights
only leisure and unforgettable nights...
