In Artemis’s Wood

Lovers entered a forbidden forest bower,

And as they stalked that range, with eyes glazed,

She offered up her hind. Now, with doe eyes,

Deep as his, deep in arousal's sleep, heels fell, 

As he knocked and pulled her dark honey hair 

And whispered, surrender, into wanting ears, 

Softly he drove his hunting command, homing 

To his huntress.

 

Her body braced, yet bade, with heat and vibrance.

Ruthlessly, he ****** his arrow deeper and then 

Once more and then again.  She bucked fiercely 

And defiant, goading his prodding lance ever more

Ever longer, and parting the pink lines of her white

Rose, he was, and once again, Prince to the dark

Dominion of her quarters.

 

In the middle of this carnal match they paused.

And looking into the forest beyond they saw

A yearling fawn, a feral Goddess, grazing still, 

Bathing in a vale, virginal, wholly unmoved 

By their act of venery, lustfully playing, in the innocent 

Leaves.  It was as if they were among her kin, a gentle 

Doe and a noble stag. From that moment on 

The human hunters did not speak.

 

Falling, again, rolling eyes were deep in arousal's sleep.

Her back was a crescent moon pocked and wet with dew.

He could feel her heart beating in time with his piercing 

Prong, her arching back glistened in the suns spittle

As it broke through the dark and vernal ceiling wood.

 

In the final shot her quivering buck lowered and broke

And a sound not heard, made a scene, a sweet murmuring

Shuddered and sank onto the floor of the forest leaves 

With her tale, taken and told, her breathless breath, 

Her nostrils cold and her heated and lanced openings 

Dripping, draining; here was a New World’s beginning.

 

Sated, solemn and softly quaking, his woman sweetly laid,

And now, doomed with her doe eyes, two lovers, fated, made;

She glowed, divine, like the rolling brook that mellowed

Slow, in the vine-dark and golden forest stable,

In Artemis’s wood.
