[ CC ] The Byronic Man
It just so happen'd by tender age five
fingertips uncover'd growing passion
finding more of himself to be alive;
ladies' undergarments were now in fashion
causing childhood'd wonderments to thrive
( thoughts only adults tend to imagine )
Catalogue'd, art tastefully flashbulb'd bright
Seeing was believing, deceiving mind
into notions that women creature'd night
casting spells upon men become resigned
to capture beauty with slavish delight
---fondling every curve front, side, behind ...
perhaps with pencil n paper likewise
Many years after, slow to realize
bust'led lace'd figures were but a diguise;
for in each boy there shys a girl who lies
awake until the late hours under skies
starry, wishing to be stilled art, fully
admired
Ironic, thinks the Man, Byronic
He shuts his eyes, tired
Awake, hers open
She sighs
