Curse of the Incubus' Wife

By Bruce Boston

In the darkest hours
of time and space
he comes to her bed,
a man-youth
so beautiful in form,
so sensuous in the
shades that shift
across his perfect face,
that she must succumb
over and again
to her own disgrace.

She grows paler
though no less beautiful.
She becomes thinner
yet all the more agile
as she surely
learns to imitate
his inhuman grace.
She wastes away
near to nothing
before her heart expires
in their shared embrace.

Now she joins him
on his nightly race.
Beautiful in form.
Sensuous and base.
A Demon Initiate
of the First Order.
A succubus traveling
from bed to bed,
menage a trois,
in the darkest hours
of time and space.
