Oh Sir Jasper do not touch me!

We are in a bodice-ripper
Inflamed and desperate and confrontational
The conflict zone
Always illicit
For were up to no good arent we
Thats why we like it
Never has issue been more clearly defined
At least one of us shouldnt be here
Swooning protesting gasping and moaning
Its unspeakable
Anything this good must be bad
Dont! Oh dont touch me!
But you know you want it!
Ageless clichs
Bald with repetition
This pounding ritual charged with pheromones
Is attracting males from the surrounding area
All the drama is here
This is the best bit
The conflict with the beast within
The thrilling struggle
To control the uncontrollable
The volcano
Tells us for a moment who we are
That we are human
That we are animals
Addicted to excitement
To confrontation with ourselves
To disassociation from the other
For after the bang comes the whimper
