Gradara
I called her Smoke – she was the smoldering
after the fire.
she looks at me like that: projectors of her sultry green eyes,
& I drop into those whirlpools, freefalling without an umbrella.
she won’t give me her number, so I can’t call. I delete phone
messages rudely if it’s not her voice. when she comes, she
brings coffee from the corner café; omelets on artisan bread,
cakes with French names that I can’t pronounce.
when she speaks, the dulcet tones of Garbo resonate. the
words fall silently; I’m lost in the corridors of her mouth.
tight, plump, sinister red. I kiss her & her lips part slightly,
enough for me to break in.
she turns away from me, to remove the shackles of her garments.
as I watch, the most undeserved fantasy overfills me. when I
sleep, there’s no need to dream.
her nakedness would compel a lover to compose devastating
poetry, if she were with an intellectual man. in my uncultured
heart, her flesh remains my cloistered secret.
the scandal that we fall into is an aberration of dirty sex. she
has an addiction to degenerate abuse; I don’t understand it, &
it hurts me, but I do it. ‘treat me like the lowest, vilest whore,’
she beseeches me, & I do it. I do it for her.
she leaves in the middle of the night, & I wake up in a lonely
place. I suck the bitter fruit of anger then, which is the residue
of love dispatched.
we are strangers in a bewildering novel that can only be composed
as a romantic tragedy: a mourning Stradivarius & torchlit cobblestones.
so I drink the hours until our next union –
making love to love, & fornicating sorrow…

Yes, I have had some of the most beautiful women
beg to be humiliated. Abused..I have a feeling
it is because they are so beautiful and are told
that day in and day out and somehow they feel
they are not beautiful or if they know they are
they resent all the adulation they receive. I'm
sure all this has been said before, but it is still
how I feel. The dirty secret is that I used to get
off on humiliating them.

This in itself is so sexy to me! Everything you write I feel like I'm there. You always take me on your steamy journeys, I'm forever grateful to you for that. Thank you 😊

This is a great fucking stanza John...
The whole piece gorgeous and so sexy sultry...
You always have the perfect pic as well...
You really are an extremely gifted erotic story teller....

I don’t understand it, &
it hurts me, but I do it.
I both know and understand. But perhaps that the part of a woman's heart that is the brightest darkness of secret solitude.
Beautifully done, John.

Lovely passages, John, such as "the dulcet tones of Garbo resonate" and "a mourning Stradivarius & torchlit cobblestones" paint quite the picture. Beautifully worded.
