In Somna
from the depths
of our inhumanity,
he bears it all -
for our sakes,
so we may rise
in sunlight
and bask in it,
without shadow of doubt
nor guilt-borne shame
for our sins, countless
the nameless demon
covets the forbidden
all he wants in return
is to taste the girl;
she’s no maiden, married
to the town’s young Bishop
but ripe, is she ever;
believing in nothing,
he’ll give her everything
if only she’d ask
she won’t, though
will she?

Dear L,
She might ask. One never knows what’s really lurking behind the facade.
Such an enjoyable and alluring write. Just enough to ignite the sizzle and let the reader wander. H🌷
