Majesty
By La Belle Rouge
amid the amethyst twilight
fertile with the promise of life
he finds a spring of pure water
submerging his dark imagination
below the surface of seduction
he waits impatiently to possess
the wild one, the one who calls
to him in shifting shadow dreams
racing past him, her lithe loins
sustaining persistent fantasies
devising salacious invitations
the majestic cat owns the jungle
and the lioness in her season
king of desire, god of her estrus
wild purveyor of fangs and claws
he woos her with fierce charm
bites her neck into submission
takes her as if she has no choice
in the night, in the inky midnight
carried far on winds of change
echoes of their guttural roars
resonate off mountains of lust
she leads him once again to a pool
where two pure springs bubble up
with promises of primal pleasure
with the insinuation of her eyes
she subjugates his every thought
until his sovereignty is usurped
he falls headlong into her mystery
where she boldly holds him captive
within the bastion of her desires
and the majestic king of the jungle
must abdicate the throne to his queen
As Tony the Tiger would say Belle. This is GRRRRREAT! No Feline connubial bliss, this. As he roars in the darkness of a one night stand and seeks encores in the day's light. Pleasure in the mane? Primitive encounters driven by his lusting for her "lithe loins". I bid you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael
Divine balances of power in this regal jungle write, Belle! The love-play is just as it should be and the inclusion of the mystery, magic and deep meaning of those enigmatic pools is such an elegant feature. Love the scope of imagination here and the splendour of your motif. As always, beautiful and deeply satisfying work. xx
Even the mighty lion, loses everything when it comes to his loins. Man are we daft as brushes.
Anyways, lets go lion around in some sweet savanna. lol xx
If you were to narrate the Nat. Geo channel, it would need a whole new rating. Steamy and passionate imagery. Wonderful how you wrote this scene.

Humm, seduction is a lioness. True. Again great imagery, spot on emotions embedded in word pictures which sweep along the reader: and who can say no to sweet love mixed with jungle seduction? Not I.
The interplay of words, moods and desires is exquisite,

Beautifully done! "she leads him once again to a pool where two pure springs bubble up with promises of primal pleasure with the insinuation of her eyes."
So rich in elegant imagination! A pure pleasure to read, and the ending captures a certain kind of energy that radiates beyond the page... Fabulous!

Now of course he must abdicate the throne to his queen after all don't all women deserve to be treated like a queen of his kingdom? lovely poetry as always, I enjoy your mastery of the poetic language.
I loved the expert crafting of your words here...and the picture you paint so skilfully is rich with the promise of the final lines...Magnificent!... like the animals you describe...

This is a sentimental and epic story about a young man, injured in the Viewnam War, who returns to Dallas, Texas, in 1964, and begins rebuilding his life. Set against the rock and roll era of the early 1960’s, when casual sex and recreational drugs w
