Lesson Taught


from the ABC set Unordered Tales

To be beauty with his love and cast

On barren shore a heartless past

Beseech his earth without a sound

To tie his heart and raise his ground

With lips I'd sunder curt retort

Swirl tress of flaxen hair cavort

Entwining all but wish until

I curve to breast and fuse with will

Yearn I'd test with silken thigh

Igniting siege in ardent eye

Till bead of sweat did wanton free

Then never hence place eyes on me

Word but rumours gentle breeze

A shadowed face to trouble ease

A prayer in only heed of man

A lifetime's ache be all I am

A moment spent a lifetime sought

Revenge is sweet and lesson taught
