Screwtape Messaging
“Never let a fool kiss you and never let a kiss fool you.”
The oldest voice, the voice of open thighs,
Is part of whispering, shouting. urging need.
Ears hear it, almost, it’s so loud. The eyes
May Braille it if they want to. Written seed
Inside you sticks, intense, ambivalent.
It may not signal what your soul would want.
The gush of sperm is not equivalent
To silk romance. Those spurtings may not vaunt
An honesty devoted to you. Walk
Among lust’s prehistoric ferns and feet
Will cause a sound but that will not be chock
Full up with firmness. Love is not that neat.
Red roses from a licking tongue have thorns.
They may include a devil’s scarlet horns.
