Mythos Mysteriosa Feminina

I am haunted by a soporific vision,

My days and nights, my every waking thought

Suffusing!

The stuff of mists and ethereal vapors;

Rare and indistinct scents and half-images,

Intoxicating!

Never the same, forever changing,

Ever discharging currents electrical and

Incapacitating!

Near, almost within my outstretched reach,

But never close at hand, blurred form furiously

Scintillating!

The phantom of these dreams

Has me in its sweat-stained, taloned clutches,

Unresisting!

Every atom of me knows well this familiar,

Yet knows it not, hidden behind its vagueness,

Inviting!

Though I sleep, it remains stridently awake,

Drawing me closer to its sinewed belly, insanely

Feeding!

The only certain knowledge I have

Of it: its exhausting, insatiable, alluringly savage

Mating!
