he was untouched
until siren calls
lured him to her
curiosity overcame him
when confronted with
her brazen conceit
persuasive ways
pushed him to her bedroom
a man formerly untouched
lays with a wanton woman

true affection blossoms
as their legs tangle in bed sheets
lips find lips
skin is against skin
heartbeat beside heartbeat
she became his inamorata

a new experience,
having never been cared for
she rebels against his love
unable to accept his
kind words and tender heart

she returns to her wanton ways
entertaining a new suitor each night
each night
her basilisk stare
enticing lustful men

even through the sheer arbitrary destruction of herself
to the man formerly untouched
she remained his Juliet

he doesn’t see that the only lover she is
is one of sin
so he captures her
and they make the pilgrimage back to her bedroom
legs tangle in sheets
lips find lips
skin is against skin
heartbeat beside heartbeat

she becomes his inamorata
once more
if only for a moment
