THE COMING GALE
(an erotic pantoum)
I see your eyes betray the coming gale
I sense the risen tide, the rain swept sea
Your flowing harbor I so deeply sail
Those saddled spurs that sure encircle me
I sense the risen tide, the rain swept sea,
It keeps their rocking long into the night
Those saddled spurs that sure encircle me
Yet keep your labors hidden from my sight
It keeps their rocking long into the night
With shudders sent from waterline to mast
Yet keeps your labors hidden from my sight
From sacred coves your silken spells are cast
With shudders sent from waterline to mast
In final crashing waves capsizing all
From sacred coves your silken spells are cast
That come like hurricanes, squall after squall
In final crashing waves capsizing all,
Your flowing harbor I so deeply sail
That come like hurricanes, squall after squall
I see your eyes betray the coming gale.
I see your eyes betray the coming gale
I sense the risen tide, the rain swept sea
Your flowing harbor I so deeply sail
Those saddled spurs that sure encircle me
I sense the risen tide, the rain swept sea,
It keeps their rocking long into the night
Those saddled spurs that sure encircle me
Yet keep your labors hidden from my sight
It keeps their rocking long into the night
With shudders sent from waterline to mast
Yet keeps your labors hidden from my sight
From sacred coves your silken spells are cast
With shudders sent from waterline to mast
In final crashing waves capsizing all
From sacred coves your silken spells are cast
That come like hurricanes, squall after squall
In final crashing waves capsizing all,
Your flowing harbor I so deeply sail
That come like hurricanes, squall after squall
I see your eyes betray the coming gale.

Not for consideration - merely because I love it and its inspiration...
I’d spread myself thin
Though my eyes were rose
Despite an incessant din
I would not be thrown
Though my eyes were rose
I began to doubt that lie that
I would not be thrown
My mind began to shout
The horse was Trojan!
And the feelings poured on out
My purpose frozen
keeled over with a mournful howl
And the feelings poured on out
Insurgents maiming, killing parts & leaving me
keeled over with a mournful howl
I curse my shame filled heart for deceiving me
More than I curse her for not needing me
Though my eyes were rose
They grow dim and concede that lie that
I would not be thrown
Though my eyes were rose
Despite an incessant din
I would not be thrown
Though my eyes were rose
I began to doubt that lie that
I would not be thrown
My mind began to shout
The horse was Trojan!
And the feelings poured on out
My purpose frozen
keeled over with a mournful howl
And the feelings poured on out
Insurgents maiming, killing parts & leaving me
keeled over with a mournful howl
I curse my shame filled heart for deceiving me
More than I curse her for not needing me
Though my eyes were rose
They grow dim and concede that lie that
I would not be thrown
Milksop Schwein and Scheissers
O you red-blooded künstler scheissers
Bleeding kings and queens of schwein
Royal flush butchered milksop hearts
Mincing crude words of offal and fowl
Bleeding kings and queens of schwein
Alluring sirens gambol the devil's hide
Mincing crude words of offal and fowl
Wrath feeding schutzstaffel soldier girls
Alluring sirens gambol the devil's hide
Jangling dreamcatcher cock ring jive
Wrath feeding schutzstaffel soldier girls
Wearing silk blindfolds for chastity belts
Jangling dreamcatcher cock ring jive
Royal flush butchered milksop hearts
Wearing silk blindfolds for chastity belts
O you red-blooded künstler scheissers

The Time Has Come
I agonize and dream I use my claws
To rake them down your spine & ride you slow
The humid slick is running down the walls
The night is thick with nowhere else to go
To rake them down your spine & ride you slow
As lightning shakes the thunder from the sky
The night is thick with nowhere else to go
Each tremor taking us before they die
As lightning shakes the thunder from the sky
Denying us the rain that comes alone
Each tremor taking us before they die
That soon will bring a deluge of our own
Denying us the rain that comes alone
While lovers steal the moment from within
That soon will bring a deluge of our own
And join ecstatically our naked sin
While lovers steal the moment from within
A salty tidal surge from evening's heat
And join ecstatically our naked sin
Until our passion wanes in slow retreat
A salty tidal surge from evening's heat
The deeper night appears as moon ascends
Until our passion wanes in slow retreat
But time has come I need no more pretend
The deeper night appears as moon ascends
The humid slick is running down the walls
But time has come I need no more pretend
I agonize and dream I use my claws
(A Pantoum: rhyme scheme: abab, 10-syllable line count.)

First, thank you, my dear shadoe, for the competition. It had been some time since I had written a pantoum, now I have two I would not written otherwise. And for the cup, I am honored.
I bow to both jade and emz, I am so happy to be sharing the podium with you both. I was thinking that one of you would take the top honors.
And to all who took pen to paper and shared your words, I deeply appreciate you all.
