The Strict Mistress from the House of Books

  


I had a rather intriguing conversation today, 

about the power of seduction through words. 


It's a tad risque.


"Seduce my mind and you can have my body,

find my soul and I’m yours forever."


I created this piece as I mused the above when a familiar voice appeared. 


Press play and let the emotional music wash over you as you read. 

Salute.

The Strict Mistress from the House of Books


(A lone voice whispers)


Within these conjured hypnotic words

Lies my secret binding spell



To you 

Control and contain 

No matter how loud you shout or yell



To attach you to me forever or temporarily 

With lashings of lascivious dark stories


As your soul salivates in total submissive anticipation and slowly starts to weep



Let me devour your curious mind like a cavernous thief

and take you to new heights of wild unconditional excitement


As your higher self suddenly

Wakes from its repetitive mundane sleep


Let me take you so damn

Deep


To new apocalyptic wet shores 

Through exchanges of whispered hirquitalliency

Of unexplored crimson heat



And let my hidden fingertips 


Trace pagan pictures of intimate lambitions and reunions

Across that succulent exposed spine in your mind 


Give me all those deep 

pamphagous thoughts


You keep bajulated

under strict locks and keys


That no one sees

Forever confined 




For landscapes or should I say mindscapes 


Filled with such visceral enticing written words

Brings forth such irrational coercive armies 


Heralding banners of such a hypnotic binding power

Just awaiting to liberate minds in the low hours


Those willing to sacrifice everything they once knew



To then be gently or vigorously 

deflowered


As they use aroused imaginations

To explore new verbs

Or sentences 


Appearing like S & M

Mistresses or Masters 


Right out of the blue



Will you pray for us to embrace 

As these soft words upon your mind's delicious lips 

Are gracefully worshipped



As you've now been duly baptised throughout this


Our soul's reintroduction 


As your hypothalamus is stimulated by black and white


Ethereal leather whip
