Anticipation shaketh down below
Wherefore I shan’t release thee shouldst thou call
Or even beg, as seem thou to prefer.
I feel thee, languid, try my binding crawl
With tense delight enveloping thee slow;
So push and crawl and twist thyself away.
That every moment my delight would stir;
And ripping, take my kill. And thou: my prey,
Imagine, over all our blood doth flow,
When deep within thy flesh my talons rake;
And to thy plaintive cry shall not defer
‘Til take my fill of all that I may take.
This predator… no… nary turn around:
Thou knew’st, though he prefer his prey face down!
David Emeron: Sonnets

We can ask Robert Browning what this one is about when we see him in Eternity. Fun!

And if he knows, he–or perhaps his dear wife–will be blushing as they explain it. God probably does not blush.

I felt almost as though I were crossing the line with this one. I almost did not post this one. But, very fun to write, it was not meant to be specific which is why it is not included in one of the two “sensuality” sequences.

Well, I’m glad you posted it… sometimes it’s those ‘ones’ that you hesitate to post that are the most fascinating ones ;-)

I do believe I have felt that when viewing other poet’s sites. Our dear besieged Lady Day, for example. I suppose I have some trepidation that some of these more sensual offerings will be misunderstood; however one has no control over such things. All work is misunderstood in a few quarters once released. However some of these which touch upon that which one blogger has termed “Affectionate Perception,” a very interesting term, I must say, have a great capacity to be be misunderstood. But… Such is life. : )

Gracious me! Of all the entries upon which to stumble!!
I do, indeed have my reasons, as my rather chaotic excuse for a “bio page” might show; and, as for the subject matter, well… after all, one cannot write of flowers and rain and love all the time.
Thank you for dropping by, as well!

That is what we all seem to do for one another here on wordpress regardless of our respective content. I found it strange at first. Why, I wondered, would a post-modern deconstructionist marxist cowboy poet “follow and like” an Austrian individualist speculative fiction writer? However, now that I have been around for a while, I confess I find it quite charming.

People keep stumbling on this one for some reason! Although there are more here upon similar subjects, there are quite a variety of subjects upon which I have written. Some, as you say, as “edgy,” although I think it a rather ironic description for an offering written–however imperfectly–in 15th century English! Some are much, much less so, although a few are slightly more so.
