The Strict Mistress from the House of Hidden Books


(A lone voice whispers)


Within these conjured hypnotic words


Lies, my secret binding spell


To you, to control and contain 


No matter how loud you shout or yell out


In happiness or pain 


To attach you to me forever or temporarily 


With lashings of lascivious dark stories or poetry 


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


While waiting for new life-changing glories 


Will you 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


Will you 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 


Will you give me all those deep, pamphagous thoughts


You keep bajulated under strict locks and keys


That no one sees

Forever confined 


Landscapes, or should I say mindscapes 


Filled with such visceral, enticing written words


Which brings forth such irrational coercive armies 


Heralding banners of such a hypnotic binding power


Just waiting to liberate minds in the low hours


In the new battles of Middle-Earth


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 


From my House of Hidden Books


Appearing like S & M

Mistresses or Masters 


Right out of the blue


Will you pray for us to embrace 


While these soft words upon your mind's delicious lips 


Are gracefully worshipped


For by hearing these whispers, you've now been duly baptised throughout this


Our soul's reintroduction 


As your hypothalamus is stimulated by my black and white


Ethereal leather whip
