HIS INFLUENCES
As notes of tearless silence played
he cast a net of flattery
and hearing fawning words of love
that echoed from his courtly mouth,
unheeded by past lessons learnt,
she sanctified advances made.
Wrapped within his influences
opposing all iniquity,
his admonitions once expressed
by subjugation now rebuked
and rumours bruited cast aside
with conscious falsehoods entertained.
By impulse of a beating heart
her rising blush betrayed
the pulsing blood of innocence
that flowed to his desires.

Very good write Michael, that innocence can be so vulnerable to those without decency.
We see it in the news every day - thanks Andy.
That's all OK then, if her advances were sanctified. Would be very swoony if they weren't!
Can't have swoony at this time on a Monday - after lunch may be.
I'm gonna be sick as a dog (Fido?) - choc gateau awaits for me birthday!
Hope you enjoy it - have a great bidet - err sorry - B Day .
I was good - I didn't have 3 large portions of it. Fido deffo cannot have chocolate.
Well...
Very well...!
A very deep well .. lol
Thanks Andrew.
Spot on description of what happens to innocence when influenced by devious intentions.
Aw thanks once again dear Fay.
