Proportions of Wo/Man Charmed By a Snake

From the first instant
my eyes laid bare 
circled and squared
at the feet
of a Vitruvian man,
the one uniqueness
in my possession,
I was lust to your loins


as images permeated
and shivered my thighs,
I felt a rising veracity
to savour the tang of you


longing to rip your Levi’s
into little streamers and hang them
from my window,
while tieing your Johnny Rebs
to my planter box,
the world would know  
you were mine


I became the seductress
you could not resist
relentless,
designing schemes
so Machiavellian,
Lector would 
have been impressed
and helped


shameless in my pursuit
pulling out all stops
I acted unaffected,
but the sight of your length
made me drool


my first tell


finally,
the maelstrom
churning my gut
my hunger, 
gave me away


under the slick
of your hands,


my body arched
addicted to the textures
and plains, 
mania seized all good sense


I writhed as you rocked,
by the time your hands 
released my breasts,
I was howling my release
a wildcat thrashed to frenzy


my tricksters hand called 
and beaten by a pro


who could have guessed?
ME!
