And in the distance he saw a
light
That illuminated the dark of
night
And while he sat out in the field
His mind spun into a spiraling
wheel
When in an instant all turned black
But the wheel still spun free of
slack
And he saw a beast, or was it a shadow
Those red ember eyes had a hypnotizing glow
A figure emerged, fair of
complexion
And he couldn’t stop staring in its direction
Still the figure came closer, hour glass in shape
And he kept on staring, he had taken the bait
He was highly intrigued by this creature he saw
It was satin soft, but equipped with tooth and claw
So he extended his hand and drew
it near
Close to his skin ‘till it breathed in his ear
Now the wheel in his mind came to a sudden stop
While the button from his pants came off in a pop
And it laid him down beneath the starless skies
Where he looked up into its red
ember eyes
And it placed a kiss upon his lips
And back and forth gyrated its
hips
And their bodies rolled like waves on the sea
Their legs intertwined like vines on the tree
This beautiful fright, he knew what was to be
But he kept on thinking, how can this happen to me
And with its hand raised high it came crashing down
Through his chest and into the
ground
Then the hand raised high holding his heart
But no my friends, this wasn't the
worst part
Because when the beast rose the treaty was made
The infinite debit of love was the price he had paid
