Man-in-a-Suit, Fetish for a Restless Libido

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._N._Taber

This poem was written for a gay friend who has a fetish about guys in suits. make of that what you will...

As I have pointed out before, in mythology, the sun god Apollo is usually represented as bisexual.

Trust Apollo then to impose the seal of his approval on two complete strangers with seemingly nothing in common…

MAN-IN-A-SUIT, FETISH FOR A RESTLESS LIBIDO

He looked sharp in a suit,
grey silk shirt and bold black tie
less funereal than ethereal
in a blaze of sunlight
giving his short, black hair
the gloss of a punter’s’ favourite
at the Grand National

I was self-conscious in tee,
jeans and trainers that had seen
better days, poised to retreat
in a blaze of sunlight
but prevented by pride in
and callson a bisexuality haunting
mind, body, and spirit

He looked sharp in a suit,
blue eyes practising a cutting edge
wherever they chose to fall
in a blaze of sunlight
providing body armour for one
invoking legends of knights worthy
of Arthur’s table

I was but an adoring peasant
in the presence of someone beyond
reach of mind, body, and spirit
until a blaze of sunlight
recreated a prism locking us
into ages-old rites that let gay men  
rise to the occasion
