Undine's Curse (Sex Ruins Everything)
Immortal beauty bathing in a stream
Her termless back and incandescent thigh
Ensnared I christened her my own Undine
Our fevered shapes combined we lay and I
Swore faithfulness with ev'ry waking breath
Unbridled we made rage in meadowed place
And after resting softly 'gainst my breast
Came subtle signs of age upon her face
Swift did I run from my rejected vow
On plaintive feet, atop shivering horses
Then setting sail have I found myself now
Reflecting gravely on our sep'rate curses:
Here I stand storm-tossed on the sleepless Sea
The day your beauty fades will you be free?

ReplyDeleteThe answer is, Dear Boy, when Beauty fades
She will, as like as not, be plung'd to Hades!
