~INCUBUS OR PARAMOUR~
At twlights threshold, did she hover
Relaxed and drowsey, under cover
Thoughts serene, and free from haze
Upon her rest, did mischief blaze
A visitant came uninvited......
With passions burning and excited
She felt a presence, in her bed
Where by desires she was led
Her heart was beating thru her chest
As hands and mouth, devoured breast
Her legs were parted, in the dark
As penetration split the mark
Tender words, did she now hear
As passions quelled potential fears
With kisses rained upon her lips
He blazed his path, with fingertips
Touched as tho, this was before
And yet innate, as virgin core
She trembled by his pleasures found
And matched each thrust....without sound
By cosmic threads they shared one mind
With thoughts and bodies intertwined
In twlight shadows did they reach
Love's sanctuary....dreamers seek
The tone of this is romantic and sensual, as if she welcomes this invisible stranger. It's a white contrast to the truth of such a black, and horrifying experience. The truth is a feeling of violation, much like rape. Unfortunately, I have some insight on this topic. I like your version of the legend better! Love and Hugs,
Sheila
Adulterer and paramour that is what it could be,
once the author refers to thirteenth century.
In those days one could buy all kind of privileges from "The Roman See".
So the priests developed a tale to justify adultery when practiced by the Rich.
"Incubus, and Sucubus", the female for incubus became the nightmare players, while the adulteresses and adulteres enjoyed their love affairs.
This poem "Incubus or Paramour" is a masterpiece by all standards.
I have enjoyed reading and digesting "Incubus or Paramour".
I congratulate the Author of "Incubus or Paramour".

Dear Anita, how fantastic a writing this is. Did I ever tell you of an apartment i lived in that was haunted by a woman of suicide. If not I will write of Eve Baker.
