Man { Homo Ignoramus }

   
it wasn't his fault    
he inherited his caste by birth she presumed    
so she never bothered to ponder    
that one lingering question    
   
   
was he born sensory deficient    
or is he the status quo and she the paranormal?    
whatever the case..she resigned herself to    
what was clearly self evident    
   
   
   
he'll never be able to experience    
desire the way she does    
never comprehend how the FREE-quencies    
of his human antenna    
spawned a ruthless expansion across the    
the entire circumference of her beacon    
leaving her perennially preoccupied with his occupancy    
   
   
   
time and again each pilgrimage    
was like live-wire stirring up inner chaos    
as he unwittingly pledged himself the focal point    
for all of her lightening    
moving her emotions like crabs in a barrel    
she could feel them clamoring over each other every night    
self indulgent in sheer expressionism    
extremists in symbolism    
   
   
   
every stare deep with meaning    
her eyes like twin oceans lurking with 'things' unfamiliar to him    
as they performed a ritual drowning of innocence    
into the depth of her murkiness    
   
   
   
every touch reeking with intent    
her fingers stalking him...marking him    
outlining his future as her one and only initiate and initiator    
for what he unknowingly begat    
shall be destined to endlessly dwell within her    
   
   
   
every word spoken    
like a spell cast in undertones    
as the wiles of her wantonness became tethered    
to those seemingly 'casual conversations'    
inducing a gradual intoxication of the senses    
through a soft falsetto    
   
   
   
through his clumsy questing about    
he continuously opened her temple's secret passageways    
awakening those dormant energies within 'from the mental on down'    
and to her credit she repeatedly warned him as    
they moved well beyond the parameters    
of 'intrigue and innuendo'    
   
   
 'but man does as man does'    
   
   
hence her previous affirmation    
'it wasn't his fault'    
but she's still going to hold him accountable    
for though he may be guiltless of the 1st degree { original intent }    
it was in his crimes of spontaneous passion that    
he became her solitary reason    
forever condemning himself as her repeat offender
