In the Shadow of the Ruins

The wind blew through
where the sun couldn't shine
It took her to
a different place & time
One she couldn't ignore
because the ruins
made her feel like she
had never felt before
In the shadow of the ruins
she craved for more
The hotel had seen better days
The creaking boards could give way
Anytime as she could see
but still she climbed bravely
Beads of sweat began to form
Rio's heat so stifling warm
That's when she saw them
pressed against the wall
They gave her pause
as the woman's red dress did fall
ripped from her aching body
as her legs locked in place
She saw the Wild woman's face
in this different time & place
In the shadow of the ruins
The body heat set them free
So sticky sweet as they hungrily
devoured the feast of their passion
& gave in to the nature of the beast
in true Rio de Janerio fashion
This feast that made her take pause
also began to cause
her to lose control inside, to awaken
Primal urges suddenly so raw
So she ran to hide
from the meshing that she saw
But just as the man in flesh
did penetrate the Wild One
& pin her to the wall
The moment ran its course in her mind
awakening her to nature's call
Because she felt the power
pulsating in the shadow of the ruins
deep within her soul
She transformed into a flower
radiating from her carnation
Now a Wild Orchid does grow.
