Resisting a beginning

 

(an old morality tale sexed up)

Christ Girl, don`t prance past like that,
Flashing that long shaft of gleaming thigh.
Now he`s awake!  Didn`t you notice that,
Didn`t you see him stir a little then?
Just wait, he`ll nudge me in a while
And, opening one tired lazy, lolling eye,
Ask the mute question...Oh, I`ll refuse,
But its the cost! You, girl, could never feel
The excruciating wither of his contempt
Or know the way it makes my manhood cringe.
He had a kingdom once and he`ll commit
Bloody carnage to re-conquer it

(This beast, you think is nuzzling my neck
Insidiously desires me by the throat).

Cynthia,
Thanks for the spot...(fixed it)...and causing me to look at it again.

And realise that - in my anxiety to do it as a kind of blank verse sonnet - thing I`ve probably done the theme a diservice.

I was trying to get a male flesh-feel into a tempting thing but missed out the idea of betrayal.

when this cold-bug goes I might try it again (if I can) in a looser form.

Sorry for going on a bit...but you made me think...thanks.

Good one, Harry. It packs a lot of punch.

Stick another 'n' in 'beginning' (since it's right up-front.) Just a typo, I'm sure.
