Alone beneath the sheets
the lovely maiden
awoke to find herself running
through the swamp
like a bull within a china shop

She blazed a path through
the tall reeds
fleeing helter skelter from
only the goddess
above knew was after her

Like a drum within the
deepest jungle
her heart beat rapidly
just beneath
the orbs of her breasts

As she fled in increasing terror
from whatever
it was that chased after her
until the ground
gave way beneath her bare feet

Ever downward into the fertile womb
of good ole mother earth
the lovely maiden plunged helplessly
with a scream of terror
her heart nearly stopped from fright

Until like a red and white fishing bobber
riding up and down
the restless waves of a fishing lake the
curvaceous maiden
found herself floating in a pit of quicksand

The liquid pools of her green eyes widening
in absolute terror
as she watched her belly button disappear
beneath the muck
while sinking up to the orbs of her breasts

Like an insect caught within the silken strands
of a deadly spiders web
the lovely maiden struggled helplessly in vain
pushed her luscious bosom
underneath the surface of the rising quicksand

Until at last her arms grew tired
sank out of sight
until all that could seen floating
on the surface of
the gateway down into her grave

Was the oval of the brown haired maidens
lovely face surrounded
by a sea of water saturated dirt and leaves
until at long last beneath
the quaking surface she slipped into her grave

Only to awaken a few moments afterward
to find herself once again
within the calm harbor of her lovers
arms who drove her into a
frenzy beneath the sheets of their bed
