The Derelict

The first thing you notice are his bare feet,
Black and dirty.
Lacking a chair, he squats.
Lacking a home, he squats.
The second thing you notice are his eyes,
Sunken and hollow.
Desperate.
You walk.
He sees you seeing him.
You walk faster.
He smiles wide.
His teeth are as broken as the dwelling he guards.
Shattered windows for a shattered soul.
He calls out.
You walk faster still.
His sunken eyes suddenly grow sharp.
He recognises an opportunity.
You wear things of value.
You are something of value.
A second voice joins the first,
And then a third.
They point.
They chuckle.
They stand.
Your wealth represents their high.
Your body represents their high.
You run.

i dare you

 

Erotica, R-18+

i dare you
to delve
into your depravity

to divulge
your dirtiest deeds

to debase yourself
with the devilish delights
and delicious debaucheries
born of danger
born of desire
born of the dark discussions
of lovers
who are living
only to die
daily
in the depths of one another’s
deep divine


This poem is from the book, Kink, Volume 3.

Forbidden Things

 

Erotica, R-18+

Forbidden things
Have a secret charm

A passionate flair
The promise of harm

A night flower’s kiss
A soft caress

A dangerous game
Come place your guess

An enticing dance
A subtle sway

You best speak not
Of what we do this day


This poem is from the book, ‘Kink, Volume 2’
