HE SPURNS APPROACH

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

HE SPURNS APPROACH

 

 

Folded in the arms of night

untrammelled by prevailing lust

tormented by passivity

his intermittent character

bears due regard for rectitude.

No servitor to instincts call

his eyes aglow his fire suppressed

despite her gentle moth-like touch

he spurns approach to union.

    Beautiful emotive write Michael.

    A fine write Michael. Could be me - spurning any approach to anything 'exciting'. Fido always barks to warn me off!

    Another good evening there?

    • Michael Edwards

      Just had a whisky - so peaty you could grow moss in it - in fact I think someone did.

      A miss-match of marital needs hidden in sensitive imagery Mike - - I know "fire suppressed" can cause one-sided torment. A sensuous read.
