The Feminine Untamed

By Erica Bentley

Perhaps the red between my legs

Is not a punishment

Nor a consequence of 

Owning my desires


It is instead evidence

A warning to those

Who dare think to 

Take my desire


Partake in the flesh between my legs

And beg me for the taste

You are petrified

Of my gaping mouth


Get on your knees

And worship at the altar

Of my desire

Beg me for release


My forbidden fruit

Is a wound to those

Who know no better


Foolish are those

Who dare forsake my desire

Do not take

That which I do not give


If you dare punch a hole

Through my core

My teeth will come out


You are consumed


You the monster with a deformed rod

Me with teeth

And a grip with vengeance

That will break the rod that dare invade


I do not need you

To become whole

But you will beg me

To make you feel


Feel the paradise

Between my legs

Satisfy the need

That courses in you

Drown in me
