Such tenderness contained within

her dusky, taught and youthful skin

that sets my dancing eyes alight

and sources man's most base delight.

Amidst temptation's lame restraint

lurks deep the urge to mark and taint

an innocence so surely flawed

as desired as it's adored.

What is a reasoned mind to do

resist the will or just pursue

to claim the offered chastity

beginning of the end for me

but such a price, the price pay

for leading hands awry, astray.

I cannot count the cost of fate

if lust and lure will not abate

her yearnings they will not relent

until out bodies lie here spent.
