the temptress
She wore and carried her beauty with the flair and light
of fairytale pixies/feet floating in a mist, slightly above the ground
Wrapping you in a cocoon of chanting will-o-wisps/lose your breath
and succumb to the soothing call of the siren.
Stare deep (if you dare!) into those gorgeous eyes, laying bare
every emotion within you that has been hidden/
let your lips ease the passage of the intoxicating words
longing to free themselves from the jealous embrace of your heart.
Visualize/recognize the brilliance, absorbing the euphoric dust
from her seething and hungry aura/accept your subjugation and helplessness
Like sleep, enjoy the feeling of just letting go
and let the temptress work her wonderful magic…
