Temptress & The Pea

in the dark days of old let the truth be told

 

where mere nobels tread to hide away from the pain

 

in scarlet thread with quaint visions in their head

 

a beacon of light to a much hurting world in need of love

 

 

 

there she awaits in the parlor by the floor

 

a quaint encounter lest I implore,

 

visions of Lavender hue out on the lawn

 

the Sparrow faint of song

 

 

 

Caress the kiss of a new day's dawn

 

in song the reproach of dazzling thoughts

 

a kiss from her hand maiden to increase the flow

 

take you to quaint places you ought to know

 

 

 

she often sat by the pond to hear the smooth scent of a lively swan

 

her tormentors would lurk with envy in their eyes

 

Maple with syrup leading on her breakfast toast

 

like a lost seagull out on the coast

 

 

 

the temptress of fire down to the wire

 

nestled in her suede hat was a little pea

 

as if a chalice dancer blown away with a hint of laughter

 

come together through the shutters to appeal to the senses

 

 

 

falling, falling & burning

 

heads were turning as if butter was churning

 

gasped for breath in the place of resistance

 

there she sat alone the temptress & the pea

 

 

 

hoping someday that a fine gentleman would marry thee

 

to close of the river Nile deafening the blow

 

there are some things you ought to know

 

draw out the faint of heart to increase the mighty ego

 

 

 

reflections

 

never second guessing

 

professing

 

a challenge to be free is a question of time
