he walks in awe, and would curse my interest in night of clear silence and sighs at promiscuous men's obsession with purity within his aspect and his eyes he looks down to my ******* and I ask him why to which he replies and typically denies he caresses those who adore lust and then calls them 'whores' when they are no less had they been tighter.. but he likes lace? his hands stroke my raven tress as he says I am not like the rest he whispers that he will handle me best but if I was not pure I know I would be in another place I stroke his cheek and admire his brow yet why does this man objectify me as eloquent so soft? don't reply to my letter. so calm? you haven't met me properly, have you? deceived by my smile but I am not deceived by yours, o' 'gent' if only more had visited below but then again, my heart would still be innocent!

he walks in awe (response to Byron's 'She Walks In Beauty')

I know Byron's poem 'She Walks In Beauty' can suggest various meanings, but this is my poetic reaction towards how women were admired by promiscuous men because they were pure, but those who weren't were frowned upon.
