NaPoWriMo day seven

the opportunity
of her beauty
grasped
 
any indication
of interest
room for escape
 
escape would have been
impossible
 
reports of escape
important and difficult
to believe
 
easy enough
to have a cell door opened
and a corridor kept clear
and to receive a guest
 
risky but possible
easy pressure
brought to bear
 
*
 
years of
the peak of her beauty
 
there is room for speculation
 
(he did; most boldly)
 
his life had been seized
he would take this risk
 
it is not difficult
to believe fine dark eyes
 
occasion to receive a guest
a liaison under pressure
 
it was customary
to celebrate with much
eating and drinking,
drugged,
              fallen.
 
a complete silence
after partaking
of the feast
 
*
 
She was still
a woman of loveliness
and charm,
impossible for him
to escape.
He had such assistance.
 
Why risk
his life? He was not
in a position
to take this risk.
 
Emotions aroused,
it is easy enough
to have a door open.
 
It would be risky
but possible
to carry on a liaison
under the eyes of
the night, supplies
for the occasion
supplied, a passage
found lying,
sudden slumber.
