Bedside Lynching

Leashed by loves lynch till I’m dropped by my lack of respect for the beauty’s presence Thank god she wasn’t curbside taking tips with perked lips for a stranger’s sexual fix, But I needed to feel the evidence that the pieces fit, That’s why this is about me and a barstool princess Getting close enough to taste the moans of vodka’s venom Get close enough so I can know my needs can be fulfilled Like a lunar eclipse this species keeps grinding its teeth when teased Time and time again we’ve been taunted by, The mistress our ancestors once described as the serpent of Eve,   When procreation was preached as an STD Yet we’ve been perpetually pivoting, To defy the chastity of a species Grandfathered misconceptions relating to why you and I exist   As wickedness warms in the covers of the lustfully parallel So let’s drown in this bliss, From head to toe, eye caught, grazes at the nose, From the bar stool to a lonely man’s home, From one dollar tips for two rum and cokes To the bedroom of this writing, The nights like this, that remind me I am alone But this isn’t about me loathing the fact that I won’t hear her whispering for more body warmth, Nor am I looking for you to pity me because I’ll be sleeping solo Enough is enough since we are humans seeking sexual catacombs I’ll try to be an adult about how the human molds but it started me at childhood, When those that conceptualized love gave me this world, And now I no longer have to listen to what I’ve been told This is about how to perceive something we can never truly control, Lucky enough to avoid a contraceptive despite unable to remember the doctor’s pull, Its night’s like this I get to question, When will my sheets meet the perfect fit? When will this be more than just a humanizing fix?
