The Diablo And The Succubus

Copyright 2003 by:  Mark V Sheldon


“One-hundred-thousand-do-I-have-one-hundred-twenty-five?one-hundred-twenty-now-at-one-hundred-twenty-five-do-I-hear-one-hundred-twenty-five?…”

His brazen barrage of streaming words faded into the ethers when

Her wavering onyx hair defied
the undulating polar-white shawl
gracing her Roman figure
and the curves
of the ivory Diablo
whose open vertical doors
matched her height
and class
Encircling the prize
like a panther stalking
an albino wildebeast
moving in for the kill

“One-hundred-twenty-five-now-one-hundred-thirty?one-hundred-twenty-seven-thousand-dollars-do-I-have-one-hundred-thirty-now?…”

The wafting smoke suspended
all belief and understanding
of beauty and decadence
in this hedonistic arena as
all eyes fixated
on her presence
commanding the spotlight
and upstaging the most exotic
spectacle on the floor
as her lines blurred the hand-
made body of extravagance

“Now-at-one-hundred-and-thirty-thousand-dollars-do-I-have-one-thirty-five?one-thirty-now-at-one-thirty-five-one-thirty-five-do-I-have-one-forty?…”

The crimson interior paled
to the sanguine
lips
pursed together in calculated
analysis

Would this be the one…?

...Damn!
This left me both breathless and speechless.
Makes me wonder if there is more to the story...
If we ask,... 'please'?
Extremely well written Mark!

~The breeze that kissed you on the face,
    Has held me in the same embrace~
