Medusa masturbating

submerged in sultry waters
breasts obscured by bubbles
floating candles, flickering light
of flame dancing across tiles
fondle moistness between thighs
hypnotized by jolts of pleasure
passion long hidden, now unleashed
like a sea monster rising up from the
bath waters, shimmering flesh of diamonds
rearing its regal head and capturing your
desires in one hot gulp, pointed teeth
steam breath on your neck, hardening nipples
clench your cunt and rise up, rise — exalt in
your solitary powers. your womanhood &
strength. a head of wild hair hissing tongues
of snakes, a single glance
will turn a man
to stone.
