Seduction

Step 1.  Courtship rutuals
She flirts with me,
invites my attention,
rejects my advances,
refuses the gift I would
bestow on her, declines
to give me her virginity.
I can find no seed
to make her fertile,
the mother to my creations
I cannot be their father,
cannot articulate
my desire in a way
worthy of her chastity.

Step 2. Consummation
At last I respond to her taunts,
conjure inspiration  stiletto like
to penetrate her reluctance.
I weave metaphors to charm her,
Conceits and lies to dazzle her modesty.
She hesitates. I wait, my stylus poised
ready to make her mine. She yields
to the soft touch of my words,
a caress that fulfils her purpose,
makes us partners, bound forever.

Step 3. Afterglow
I relax,
light a cigarette
and sit back, satisfied
reviewing what I’ve done

Step 4. Self - justification
It was her, I tell you.
She led me on,
Flaunted her blankness
To inflame my desire.
She lay there naked,
Taunting me,
mocking my impotence
until, passions roused,
I filled her whiteness
with my ink.
