Oubliette

A Multi-stanza Senryu

The Oubliette by Tyr Johansen

You say none can know

Thus you come to me at night

No need to worry

……

Night is a cover

For a multitude of sins

If these walls could talk

…..

Welcome home my dear

Here no one will ever know

Of our passion

……

Perfect place for love

Hidden in the deepest night

Cold, dank oubliette

…..

I see you shiver

Come to me, let me warm you

I’ll make your blood boil

…..

Never mind the rats

They only nibble a bit

You get used to it
