Hungers


'
ere I sit in
my quasimodian bastille.
From campaniles I spy
suitors who would 
approach me.
Yet from these belltowers
I could be Rapunzel
releasing locks 
for all lovers 
to access me.
Though they try, 
in their sailboats, they will fail. 
I am elusive; ever hungry,
the quintessential tease.

My island penitentiary,
meant to withhold
such a succubus as I,
fails to withhold lust 
from their dreams.
This tower of 
Mother Earth 
though hold me she does
tis not food enough.
I would be free
to love, to succor,
to feed on 
all the men 
who yearn for me.

�2005 Sandra Elizabeth Johnson
