a study toward sonnet #126 by FisherKingKQJ
Smashed totally, heart racing on, and throat
Dry gulping, I lay eyes closed, as he raised
Himself off. I wanted him as though by rote
To nest my head on his left shoulder dazed
And spent as I was. So I was amazed
And galled to feel the mattress rise and drop
As he quit bed. The shower box droplet hazed
Inside the ensuite, silhouette looked to mop
A shampoo round his hair, his feet to slop.
My body continued its tune in delight
From his caress; but my heart couldn't stop
Its inner sunburst of tears at my sleight:
I'd stirred him to casual sex, a blunder:
My love was deep though I'd torn it asunder.
{3D interactive chorus:}
I'd conned him into casual sex, a blunder.
I'd conned him into casual sex, a fault.
I'd conned him into casual sex, a mistake.
