SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

The bolt slides free  
awakening with a start  
the solitary prisoner  
shrunken by age  
by disuse atrophied  
huddles for warmth  
pale, flaccid flesh  
pressing mossy walls  
 
A shaft of brilliant light  
illuminates his world  
the stale odor of confinement  
is made sweet  
by a mélange of vanilla  
and a garden of flowers  
the filtered rays of sunlight  
accentuate the silhouette  
of an earthbound angel  
peering through the now open door  
 
A visitor? He ponders  
many years have passed  
since last he was visited  
daily, solitary exercise  
are his only solace  
alone with his fantasies  
imaginary pleasure  
make-believe lovers  
 
A sultry whisper  
pierces his reverie  
she beckons him  
abandon his cruel keep  
enthralled by the voice  
escaping her ruby lips  
hypnotized  
he inches toward freedom  
 
Recoiling at first  
greeted by a cool breeze  
he warms and blushes  
his anticipation growing  
as blood races to his head  
responding to her firm  
gentle grasp  
soft lips travel slowly  
the length  
of his now crimson flesh  
she consumes him entirely  
unable to contain his elation  
exploding with joy  
she gazes hungrily  
seductively smiles  
her face glistens  
with his excitement  
 
Utterly spent  
limp with exhaustion  
reluctantly he retreats  
toward his solitude  
she lifts his head  
kissing him goodbye  
her tongue explores  
for the last time  
his gaping mouth  
I’ll visit again, soon  
she promises  
he longs for that to be true
