Pardon my staring
At what might seem
To be your limbs
Not your long legs per se
Just the red and white stripes
On your delightful thights
Two life-size candy canes
With the perfect gap
The flawless curves
And the matchless strides
I gave up the sweets
Once I turned Mormon
But tonight
Dear Lord forgive
I will be tripping between
Hershey’s and Heineken

This is interesting! And a little bit different from what you usually write. Is it personal or was it inspired by something specific?

I did stare. To be honest. I got caught. A kind stranger. And got hit. A timely quote. An old friend. Some scripture somewhere. You know those. Thou shall “nots”. Shall not Look? But a Tight. Made in Stripes. Red and white. Like Candy cane. Never seen that. Looked good though. For the season. Got a rebuke. They named it. A sinful relapse. So I went. Searching for answers. Did some research. We can look. Says the book. Not lustfully though. I didn’t relapse. I just retreated. A mental retreat. Behold the coincidence. Word on WordPress. It is retreat. Grabbed the pen. Here we are. You know what? Everything is arts. Arts is everything. “Lookery” is arts. It needs perfection.

Thanks for this answer! Really like it 🙂 And it’s not sinful to look, especially if you’re making art out of it ^^
