I Lead Her

Poet "SecretedSins"

I lead her, but not to any discernable destination.

I lead her to a place where place is rendered meaningless; where physical surroundings are relegated to shadows that lust-glazed eyes no longer truly see; where nothing exists - no house, no car, no job, no bills to pay, no PTA commitments - nothing, except her, and me, and the tastes, the scents, the waves of sensation in which we are immersed. I take her, eventually, to a place where even I cease to occupy her universe; a place where she comprises a universe unto herself.

I take her there, and then carry her limp, spent form back to this world, as a panther carries its cub through the marshy jungle of the Pantanal,— my teeth firmly gripping the nape of her slender, naked neck.
