TENDER FLESH
tender flesh enough to bite on
eyes concealing hidden thoughts
heart soliciting desires
stirring passion in this fiery dance
----------------------------------------
cautious to disguise my meaning
careful for words not to betray
playing loosely on illusions
like silk upon your softer gaze
----------------------------------------
eyes light up to shine in dark
for moons to flicker in the night
slIck as a panther's stealthy crawl
responding to a hunting call
as mind undresses slender form
-----------------------------------------
unearthing treasures crushed in stone
as chills rush through these naked bones
sweet alabaster reaping pleasures
surrendering to this quiet storm
----------------------------------------
floods gush through to break the dam
to freely flow with rising tides
enough to fix on tender flesh
to wet and tease this appetite
warm flesh enough to bite on
----------------------------------------
curls loosely fall into the depths
lingering far in darken corners
dangerously drops to close to edge
for lust to ravage loosened threads
-----------------------------------------
rising hot in cool temptations
all for the raping of the lock
carnal thoughts evoking carnage
broad strokes upon wild innocence
----------------------------------------
and reasoning is cut in half
laid helpless on a chopping bloc
sweet sounds enticing full desires
slicing holy virtues into chunks
----------------------------------------
seduced in an hynotic trance
bathed warmly in erotic fragrance
whispering sweet, sweet overtures:
"Do I pluck to eat this poisoned fruit?
to taste the tender flesh of meat
near enough for me to bite on
....so fresh and moist and delicate"
----------------------------------------
consume me in this burning flame
to mark upon our magic
----------------------------------------
