Venus Geneticus By JLG Clift

Delores
 is
looking
at
me
lusty
lithium
eyes
rest in mine
for comfort

to enchant

smoky in
colour she
is part
of a fantasy
i have
had since
i first
had
her

all those years
ago

She comes
from
a time
before
my life
now

her name
is

Delores

Evelyn

Eryx

Venus

could not
touch her
beauty
as she
lets her

Furs

roll off
crushed velvet
shoulders
as fair as
milk
but golden
in the warm
glow of the
Art Deco
lamp in the
corner

the black
Wolf's
skin
tumbles
like
a
waterfall
down the
flawless
face
of her
white
satin
back

so innocent
she looks
new born

furs
reach
the ground
beside her
school bag
and rustle

curtains
at the
opera

i take her
in
the light plays
off
her
strawberry
blonde
hair

in a bun
but unfurling
as
black chopsticks
are drawn
from

it

flows as

tinted

ink

cascades
down her
breasts
traces
hardened
nipples
surfs
over
her shoulder blades
as she arches
forwards

and
slides
her fingers

painted

streetwalker

red

over
the body
that
will always
belong

to me

the way it has
since we
met in
Sicily

all those
years ago

she
looks
so innocent
so innocent

but she
isn't

not any
more since
we discovered
uncovered
each other

reunited
in a
Roman
Cafe

17 years
after
we had
met

we became
lovers

her
fingers
mani-
cured
call me
to the
bed
to cure
me of
my ills

my idol
Delores
falls
once again
into
the

blue velvet

duvet
of the
room

her body a
feather
helpless but
to ride the
wind of
primal
desires

surrenders
her body
to
mine

She is
fan
tas
tic
every
thing i wanted
the best
money could
buy her body
is softer
every time
i feel it
skin tastes like
she bathes in
honey as
i tongue
perfection

head clamped
between stockinged
columns

china white
Delores
is
innocence
incarnate

but
she is
Venus
Eryx
always
when i am

here her
primal groans
echo through
the hotel room

I've kept
the lights on
to see her face
my family are
back in the apartment
on the
Upper East

I will
take the limo
when
I've
had my fill

of purchased
paradise

we are lost
to this feral
fantasy
our bodies
tangle
on the covers
feel her moist tongue
tease my
neck
as she pants
and
i grunt

time lapses
my lives
merge in
the outrage
of this
climax

her nails
rake down
my back
like the parting of
curtains
as i itch
her scratch
kiss her neck
just to hear
a last
youthful moan

tickle my senses

trickle through
my ear

something to
think about
with Sarah
later

i was a younger
man when
i met her
first
but she is
ageless
youth
forever

she will
always
look the same
to me

and

i love her
like

my daughter

in the smog
of a Chesterfield
Delores
picks herself
up and
puts on
her school
uniform

a word
hangs
twitching
between us
as the

Dada

dangles
in the lobby

'can we do a
different
scene
next week?'

'of course we can
Delores'

a gang of
Benjamins stretch
out from my
hand
in a money
clip and grace
her palms

'i'm not a real
hooker you know? You
don't have to give
me this'

'your my girl
Delores, i can't
have you
out there
penniless'

Venus Eryx
smiles
approves
and her hand
takes the clip

'see you next week
Dee'

we feel
warmer
than before
in the
glow
of
mutual
satisfaction

leave the room
sly smiles
all the way back
to our
lives
between
living

we only know life
in this room
in the excitement
and the discovery
and the sin

Taboo
always did
turn me on

i see it's
