Carved by His Hand<\/p>\n
Complicit in your responses, feeding me the words I long to hear,
\nYet I listen to the subtle ironies and undertones,
\nThe microcosmic expressions that barely give you away,
\nPainful intentions to control and subjugate.
\nI sense it, I feel it,
\nYet our secrets shared lock us in destiny\u2019s arms.<\/p>\n
Caution creeps in, and I play the fool, or perhaps the fool plays me,
\n\u2018Sister Aurora, a Godly woman in dress, but something wicked hides,\u2019
\nMy dishonest words cascade from the ridge, testing him.
\n\u2018Creator of murals, creator of etchings on soft skin her hubris.\u2019
\nDo you sense my deception?<\/p>\n
\u2018Artist becomes subject to our vision, stilled and starved.\u2019
\nHe gives nothing away, lacks expression, I delve deeper.
\n\u2018Charitable member of our priory, answerable only to God. Or us.\u2019
\nMy fingers trace patterns about his neck and shoulders.
\n\u2018She would come if called, assistance in the community.\u2019<\/p>\n
The snare is set, the seed of an idea rapidly shooting and blooming,
\nMy grip tightens, kneading the tense flesh of my dire lover.
\nNeeding the rigid flesh of my lover, gasping for his accord.
\n\u2018Would she not make the perfect subject for our canvas?\u2019
\nMy lips brush his as I await his stern response.<\/p>\n
Inside I burn,
\nInside I fear,
\nInside I tremble,
\nInside my suspicion flowers.
\nIs this what you desire?
\nAm I to be carved by your hand?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
