Commemoration of Lust

The melody was enthralling
Mesmerizing my whole being
Gently probing my thoughts
Searching for the secrets
To arouse my internal flame.

Desire dances regally
In tune to the strident rhythm
A sensual opus
Naked of modesty
Primed for the final crescendo.

My senses now wholly exposed
To the heightened passion within
Vulnerable and weak
Lifted to heights unbound
By all conventional wisdom.

I am induced into the web
Of intensely yearning passions
Flesh sweet upon the tongue
Every nerve taut on
This commemoration of lust.
