Impaled

~

passion
let it run fire red
red as the roofs of Paris
that conceal the carnal
intertwined
on a starless night

in the throes
of sweating conquest
ripe with release
coursing with hunger
for the tender flesh
of reckless youth

white hot
as a deflowered bride
burning with the lust
of an august first-night
impaled on the horn
of promise and desire

there will be no truth
in these minglings
only raw bleeding need
and the quenchless thirst
for bittersweet
forbidden nectar

when you hear the whispers
know that it was so
and so it will remain
in the electric loins
of the skin slaves
aflame under red roofs

  1. Amazing piece, Rob. I especially like-

    white hot
    as a deflowered bride
    burning with the lust
    of an august first-night
    impaled on the horn
    of promise and desire
