The Deceitful Dance Of Elroy du Art...

By worm

taut with expectancy buoyed by bliss
unspoken commitment
a gut wrenching kiss

sublime with desires
fired by fate
unwelcome advances
soon fill the plate

anything promised
all that you want
give into emotions
better not sought

the fumbling begins
hard flesh meeting soft
promises forgotten
after climbing back off

a young girl lies bleeding
alone in the dark
the latest dance partner
of Elroy du Art

    And so it goes in the world of young women, romantic and trusting until Elroy has his way - fair warning has been given! Cheers and well done!
