Forbidden Love
What delight Lot heard in his sleep,
Whose daughters drone like whales,
Who wash their thighs in depths
Within the Caves of Zoar!
Rushing trains buckle deeper
Into the labyrinth’s core;
The hot breaths from the tunnels,
The chanting iron and ore-
Of what, Lot, do you dream?
Love with Sabine stare will
Seize the concubines of desire;
Love will show the spot
Where stray men spray their liquid
For a snapshot of holy fire!
Lot awakes as filled with drink,
To where cobblestone is cold.
He dreams his daughters the nagging sheep,
The wives anxious of pleasure.
Last few words:
Just X rated in the flow of XXX. It is a dream based on Lot's dream, one of the great erotic passage of the bible.

Love(lust) will show the spot men their liquids spray- sun
Love will show the spot
Where stray men spray their liquid
For a snapshot of holy fire!
This I missed in the Bible
Be it so
it is like LORD KRISHNA'S BHAGVAD GITA
where also he only teaches---- rather better conveys the rights of human/// men and women ///
This erotica ignites the fire
in my dying flame
like does the sun
hidden in silken shades
yearns to say come...
i would've used (U)

Lovely and lusty, in a classic way
I very much like how you captured the erotic spirit, here. The lines
"Whose daughters drone like whales," and "Love will show the spot
Where stray men spray their liquid" particularly stand out for me as striking imagery. The ending is eye-catching, too. I really enjoyed the classic feel of this, like an ancient text come to life. Not one word is wasted. Lovely!
