Slave of Anubis
Body undulating
under his dark eyes
upon my wrists and ankles
gold flashes in candlelight
The patron of lost souls
weighing each heart to judge
in death he claimed me
to dance for only him
In the shadows of the underworld
I exist for his pleasure alone
he is guardian of the dead
watching me eternally
Gyrating to the drums
upon my hands and knees
crawling to his throne
breathing in his lust
He stands, magnificent beast
protector of the damned
Anubis, my beloved master
calls me Anput, his slave
under his dark eyes
upon my wrists and ankles
gold flashes in candlelight
The patron of lost souls
weighing each heart to judge
in death he claimed me
to dance for only him
In the shadows of the underworld
I exist for his pleasure alone
he is guardian of the dead
watching me eternally
Gyrating to the drums
upon my hands and knees
crawling to his throne
breathing in his lust
He stands, magnificent beast
protector of the damned
Anubis, my beloved master
calls me Anput, his slave

This is just a portion of something I'm still working on. I figured I would list it under Erotic because that's what it's going to be in the end.

This great! I picture a dark strip tease going on here. Cant wait to see where you take it. The characters, are those name made up?

The names are not made up. Anubis is the Egyptian god of the dead, and Anput is argued to be his female counterpart, but most say she was his mistress. The "weighing each heart to judge" part I mention is a ritual that Anubis performs when someone passes. It's a series of tests, but in short he weighs a heart against a feather. If the heart weighs less than a feather, it shows that the person lived a pure and wholesome life. The person may then pass into the afterlife. Kind of an Egyptian Judgement Day type thing. I'm stuck though..
