Untrodden whiteness of a lawn the snow has graced;

untasted bloom on a bunch of black grapes;

the shape of a towering mountain as yet unclimbed;

sublime discovery of an uninhabited isle.

The smile of timid (but inviting) post-menstrual

sensuality on a maiden's fresh face,

places on offer the privileged opportunity

to tune her understanding of life to mine.

A shining sunlit haven, out of reach

from creatures who "Had" the whole whoring horde

of fornicating sluts in long bygone years -

aspersions on her past will never cast their shadow.

     She'd take me as her first (and only) male -

     where lies the secret of the Holy Grail.
