A Pledge To Resist Her Lust

A Pledge To Resist Her Lust.

My eyes I close to

avoid her seduction,

her rolling eyes

I vowed not to give

a second look;

her squints and

undertones,

always I refuse,

temptation from her

apple-shaped-breasts

I keep resisting.

Her un-solicited smiles

I determined not to

return;

even not to open

my heart door

anytime she wants to enter.

My pledge,

never shall I accommodate

her sensuous rendition,

anytime her gramophone

plays on.

My ears I shall block to

her sybaritic whispers,  

my fingers I will keep at bay

to prevent fire of passion.

Lips I will seal

so that hydrostat does

not become wet;

my legs I will make run

like cheetah,

anytime I walk pass her

abode.

Her hidden bait-

sweet and smooth talk-

never will it persuade or

enthrall me,

neither will her laughter

captivate nor sweep off my

feet.

Her come-hither tone,

I will stay at a distance

not to recognize,

friends of same trade,

I will avoid like a plague.

My feet I will bridle

from going near her

courtyard;

nothing-no matter-

how little,

I will have to do

with her or her companion.

Fortification I shall build

around my courtyard to

keep her from me.

This is my pledge,

a solemn promise,

a vow I’m bound to

keep,

a commitment

I’m bound to honor.
