The Proper Lady

Contributed by doug on Wednesday, 25th February 2004 @ 01:38:34 PM in AEST
Topic: SecretLove



sweet virgin like a portrait sits
with etiquette i'm sure
twilight to the night begets
in natures overture

backdrop of the gardens light
impressionistic view
the paleness of her makeup white
she bids a fond ado

an evening stroll along the path
she lingers at the gate
though she'll endure her mothers wrath
shes fashionably late

she walks into the ballroom dance
musicians strum their chords
she curtsies to the gentlemen
and waltzes with the lords

sir edward whispers in her ear
she looks at him aghast
surely i'll refrain my dear
for i'm a proper lass

and so unto her chamber
she readily retires
reflecting now in anger
his debaucherous desires

but secretly she longs
for passionate escape
a yielding to the wrongs
in which he does partake

but as she sits and ponders
a tapping does transpire
at this late hour she wonders
if the news indeed be dire

please be patient stranger
for i'm not decent yet
she sensed inherent danger
but dismissed it without fret

just then the door flew wide
the danger now was real
sir edward stepped inside
a thieve who'd come to steal

not her heart or jewelry
but the essence of her flesh
desire unsurmountable
awakened in her breast

i come not for what is decent
he announced in voice robust
and down upon the bed they went
torrential rain of lust

seven deadly sins she swore
they practiced every one
nothing but their sweat they wore
untill their deeds were done

wicked immorality
now fills her every night
though ever the proper lady
in the pale victorian light

In its beauty and simplicity it is actually quite sensual. Great piece of work.
