Sweet Succubus

Sweet Succubus,

Do you remember what it was like?

To be a pure little thing

Bundled in your softness

Cherub\'s palms grasping at the cloud-beard:

The holy Father who bore you

 

Do you remember what it was like?

To slip into the shades

Where divine light cannot warm you

How does that body feel?

You stoke the fire in your loins,

Tending the hearth in the name of feeling

Something other than the coldness

 

Holy Succubus,

Do you remember what it was like?

To be cast from the clouds:

A first-time missionary,

Patron saint of filth and tender flesh

Teach them all you know

 

Do you remember what it was like?

To be clothed in modesty,

Swaddled by white-feather limbs

How does that body feel?

Nothing but the membrane

Placid skin punctured and stretched

By the buds of your horns

 

Sweet Succubus,

Do you remember what it was like?

To be satiated with virtue

Before the ache of hunger

A taste for the carnal, forbidden fruits of passion

Eat all that you can

 

Do you remember what it was like?

When you swear to me

That you are still a pure little thing.
