Vignette –He Thinks

…can barely keep my eyes averted away from the

blatant appeal. My loins quicken each moment i see

what they present. It’s always one after the other.

Curse me for feeling this way once again; and curse

me for running home to nurse these hidden desires.

-vignette's are quintain (5-line stanzas) word pictures-either a short descriptive literary sketch or a scene/incident/line from a play or movie.
